Tonkon Torp’s Government Relations and Public Policy Practice Group offers clients extensive government affairs experience and unique access to Oregon’s political infrastructure.

 

Collectively, our team brings more than 60 years of bipartisan government relations and lobbying experience to our clients. We work together closely to best leverage our individual strengths and experience to generate results in an increasingly tumultuous political and regulatory environment.

 

Our clients—including corporations, municipalities, trade and professional associations, non-profit organizations and higher education institutions—benefit from access to relationships we have built over many years as well as new relationships we know how to cultivate.

 

Any lobbyist can learn a client’s issues, but access, relationships, reputation and credibility are the more difficult to obtain ingredients for the success we deliver to our clients. 

 

Our Services 

We advocate zealously on behalf of our clients with the highest degree of professionalism. No matter the size or complexity of a project, we provide all aspects of government relations services:

 

·         Direct advocacy and lobbying at all levels of government—policy and appropriations

·         Strategic advice and counsel

·         Grassroots organizing and coalition building

·         Strategic communications and messaging

·         Procurement

·         Executive Branch regulation and rules

·         PAC creation, fundraising and management

 

 Beyond our legislative, regulatory and strong, fact-based advocacy work, we fully participate in the political process and support our clients’ interests throughout the campaign cycle through Tonkon Torp’s Federal and State PACs.

 

As part of one of Oregon's most respected law firms, our practice also provides our clients with immediate access to lawyers with expertise in energy, environmental, natural resource, land use, taxation, intellectual property and labor employment issues.
