Launch of Morrison Cohen’s Government Strategies & Controversies Practice Gains Media Attention
The launch of Morrison Cohen’s new Government Strategies & Controversies Practice has garnered significant media attention, with multiple outlets covering the firm’s practice designed to help clients navigate public policy, regulatory compliance and government relations strategy.
In a Law360 article about the new practice, Morrison Cohen Chair & Co-Managing Partner Y. David Scharf, who leads the group with Partner Kristin Roy and Policy Director and Counsel Jarrod Bernstein, noted that the practice had operated informally for three years and was formalized due to the growing demand for services following the surge of federal activity after President Trump's reelection.
“As clients navigate the rapid change at all levels of government, now is the perfect time to formalize our offering in this area,” David said. “This multidisciplinary practice group will leverage the full scope of the firm's capabilities to advise clients on every aspect of their interactions with public officials and agencies.”
As one of the only mid-sized law firms with government strategy capability, the practice advises clients in a wide variety of industries on handling issues such as government disputes, legislative challenges, regulatory investigations and administrative proceedings. It also offers crisis management solutions and public policy advocacy.
“We strive to provide a steady hand to clients as they navigate public policy and crisis management issues,” said Jarrod.
The Government Strategies & Controversies Practice launch was also covered in New York Law Journal, Politico and citybiz.
