California

McGuireWoods Consulting’s California government affairs team offers national and multistate capabilities, state and federal government relations, and advocacy services.

Florida

McGuireWoods Consulting established its Tallahassee office in January 2018. The team has nearly five decades of combined government relations experience in Florida representing a diverse client base including Fortune 100 companies, small and medium-sized companies, and state and national trade associations.

Georgia

When a court decision threatened the existence of successful charter schools in Georgia, our team was engaged to amend the Constitution to allow them to continue to receive adequate public funding. We worked successfully to pass an amendment in the legislature and with a statewide vote. In the process, we built a unique bipartisan coalition around the goal of ensuring that every child in Georgia has access to a quality public education.

Illinois

Our Illinois office represented the third-largest municipality in the state to obtain one of the largest economic development packages ever awarded, including millions in capital grants for repair of aging infrastructure and the development of a mass transit stop. This was achieved by forming bipartisan relationships with regional legislators and working with local alderman to agree on priority capital projects despite a politically split city council.

North Carolina

Our Raleigh team represented a local business advocacy organization in negotiating and advocating for business friendly policies, including the funding of a job development and investment grant, the OneNC fund, and several beneficial tax incentives. We also assisted this client in the passage of a $2 billion bond aimed at supporting infrastructure upgrades across the state.

South Carolina

Our Columbia team represented an international technology company to overcome strong legislative and lobbying opposition. We also helped the client navigate the House and Senate committee process securing broad support on the final compromise bill language.

Texas

Our Texas team provided strategic guidance to a transportation consortium that was ultimately awarded a $1 billion Texas Department of Transportation project to build, maintain and operate a new toll road in Houston. We have also led the charge to pass legislation for a pharmaceutical client that increased access to medication proven to save lives in opioid overdoses.

Virginia

Our Virginia team, working with clients at both public and private institutions and business, has played a leading role in garnering support for higher education-a chief concern of Virginia state government. Our integrated efforts have included government relations work, media relations, and community support efforts in support of granting new degrees in the Commonwealth.

Washington, DC

Our Federal team led an international food company through a very challenging and controversial cross-border merger, which was subject to a host of federal reviews and heightened public scrutiny. The process involved extensive congressional, executive, state, local and third party engagement, and ultimately resulted in a successful merger.
