State-level Direct Advocacy and Issue Management

The team at IPA works closely with elected officials at every level of government in Texas to achieve legislative and regulatory certainty for our client’s business operations. As the information age is revolutionizing other industries, the lobbying practice is undergoing a radical change. Our work history and experience gives us the distinct advantage of understanding what influences policy makers and ultimately determines the outcome of public policy decisions. Our commitment to ethical practices combined with our use of technology to advocate effectively on behalf of our clientele gives IPA true competitive advantages over outdated stand alone “lobbying” practices. And our strategic approach to issue management gives clients a framework to understand how we convert their desired outcomes into reality.

CLIENT CASE STUDY : In the information age, being a “telecommunications” firm means offering increasingly complex and varied services (and doing it better than your competitor!) As wireless and wireline telephone, data and internet, and television and video content services are merging into one platform of services, the different laws and regulatory policies governing these technologies are being merged as well. This creates significant uncertainty and vulnerabilities for companies operating in this industry and requires highly specialized knowledge of the issues to effectively navigate the changing environment.
