Government Affairs / Lobbying

SAI principals have decades of experience involved within government and as political consultants. As a result, we have acquired, firsthand, what is necessary to master the intricacies of the legislative process. Most importantly, we have earned the trust and respect of many public officials and their staff throughout the federal, state and municipal levels of government.

No business or organization is impervious to the forces of government and public perception. Many perceive these forces as presenting obstacles; at SAI, we view them as opportunities. Politics is always in transition. We understand the ebb and flow of government and provide the guidance, counsel and support necessary to adapt to those changes.

Every decision made, every regulation written and every law enacted is the result of a choice among different and, more often than not, actively competing opinions and perspectives. SAI establishes for its clients productive, ongoing relationships with the right government officials whose areas of oversight have significant impact on the issues at hand.

We are registered lobbyists with New York City and New York State and partner with associates at the federal level.

SAI works with each client to:

  • Develop and tailor an effective campaign designed to heighten visibility among local, state and federal officials
  • Plan effective strategy for the passage or defeat of legislation
  • Enhance government awareness of your needs and services
  • Arrange for appearances before legislative committees
  • Coordinate special events and visits by public officials
  • Develop appropriate collateral materials that sensitize and educate officials about issues important to the client and legislative initiatives
