A multidisciplinary practice, the MVA's Public Affairs team uses a strategic approach to help its national and international clients reduce regulatory costs, build public consensus, defeat adverse legislation, find hidden value and equity, significantly enhancing their bottom line.
Whether you’re looking to shape public opinion, manage corporate reputation and risk, analyze legislation, navigate complicated laws or develop campaign materials, we are here not just to represent you, but to advocate for you – in a focused and specialized way. Our group is comprised of lawyers, lobbyists, writers, designers and more – with talents and experience all tailored toward public affairs. We solve problems, change perceptions and manage issues for a variety of clients. This focused attention is what helps us affect public opinion instead of letting it affect you.
Each campaign we develop is tailored to your specific needs. Some of our service offerings are noted below.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Our registered lobbyists have strong relationships with public officials, which help us advocate on your behalf to meet your specific objectives. Our services include legislative monitoring with real-time reporting, traditional direct advocacy and strategic planning.
ISSUE MANAGEMENT
Through policy research, message development and targeted outreach, our political strategists identify issues that affect you and develop ways to meet your goals. Specific deliverables may include political strategies, issue campaign development, white papers and speech writing.
GRASSROOTS OUTREACH
How do you mobilize efforts to reach an expansive audience? We use both personal relationships as well as the latest social media tools. From issue-based educational forums and town hall meetings to national communications, we follow your issue wherever it takes us.
PUBLIC RELATIONS & MEDIA
Our communications professionals have developed integrated media campaigns locally, regionally and across the country for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to high-profile non-profits. We partner with clients to develop creative, effective campaigns that drive strategic messages straight to the target audience.
EVENT MANAGEMENT
A seamlessly executed event can deliver a client’s message to stakeholders and influential media, and can mitigate concerns amidst contentious local, regional or national policy disputes and PR crises. Our event professionals devise nationally broadcast events for corporate clients, trade associations and issue advocacy organizations, handling set-up, program, VIP and crowd logistics.
LEGAL RESOURCES
We specialize in federal, state and local lobbying law compliance, political action committee administration, legislative drafting and regulatory guidance. We also have one of the largest law firms in the Southeast at our disposal. This access sets us apart and means we can also offer subject matter expertise on issues such as tax, health care, energy, environmental, finance, corporate organization and litigation services when needed.
In addition, our Public Affairs team resides on the firm's 15,471 square foot LEED Gold floor. As a firm, Moore & Van Allen places significant emphasis on sustainable, healthy work environments. Such environments have been proven to improve employee productivity and job satisfaction, which ultimately translates into a superior service offering to you-- our valued and respected clients.
