fp Gov

Public policy affects your business. Understanding what’s happening is only part of the equation. Sometimes, you need to shape what happens next.

FP Gov is Fisher Phillips’ affiliated government affairs and advocacy organization, helping employers, trade associations, and business coalitions shape public policy and advance their priorities at the federal, state, and local levels.

FP Gov combines focused advocacy strategies with a distinctive understanding of business, the workplace, and the way government makes policy. Our affiliation with one of the nation’s preeminent labor and employment law firms brings added perspective to the broad range of policy issues affecting employers and their organizations.

Lobbying & Government Advocacy

We advocate for clients before lawmakers, administration officials, and regulatory agencies on workplace policies and broader issues affecting their businesses. We make the case for our clients’ priorities, build support for their positions, and work directly with government officials to advance policy outcomes.

Legislative & Regulatory Advocacy Strategy

Effective advocacy starts with the right strategy. We help clients define their objectives, assess the political and policy landscape, develop persuasive positions, and determine when, where, and how to engage. Whether the goal is to advance a proposal, influence an emerging policy, or respond to government action, we develop and execute strategies focused on achieving the strongest possible outcome.

Policymaker Engagement

Effective advocacy depends on understanding not only who makes decisions, but how those decisions are made. Through its affiliation with Fisher Phillips, FP Gov draws on the perspective of attorneys and professionals who have served in senior roles in presidential administrations, lobbying firms, Congress, and federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of Labor, Commerce, and Homeland Security.

That firsthand government experience, combined with established relationships across government, helps us identify the right audiences, understand the considerations shaping policy decisions, and put clients and their priorities directly before the officials who can act on them. We prepare clients for meetings and hearings and develop testimony, talking points, written comments, and other advocacy materials that translate complex business and workplace issues into clear, compelling policy arguments.

Coalition & Stakeholder Advocacy

Policy outcomes often depend on building support beyond a single organization. FP Gov helps clients identify potential allies, forge coalitions around shared policy goals, and coordinate advocacy efforts that demonstrate broad-based support and strengthen the case for action.

FP Gov’s affiliation with Fisher Phillips brings an added dimension to our advocacy: a deep understanding of the legal, regulatory, political, and practical issues facing employers. That perspective helps us understand both how government action takes shape and what it could mean in practice for businesses, their operations, and their workforces, allowing us to build advocacy strategies grounded in the realities of both government and business.
