PUBLIC POLICY CONSULTING
Government decisions can have a profound impact on business. WSG advises its clients on how best to position themselves on complex policy issues, leverage opportunities, and manage the risks associated with policy initiatives or inaction. WSG provides board-level advice on critical policy issues and regulatory/legislative environmental trends that can impact your business and investment strategies.
REGULATORY AND PERMITTING SERVICES
Based on our deep regulatory expertise, WSG partners help our clients understand the ever-changing regulatory and permitting landscape and achieve their short and long-term business goals in a cost-effective way. WSG can help frame comments, engage with regulators at all levels, and develop a tailored strategy on how best to have your voice heard and break through red tape.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Our leadership experience in the public and private sectors makes us the smart choice for engaging regulatory agencies and high-level officials. And with our many years of state and federal experience, we have unique insight into how to resolve complex issues across jurisdictions and geographic regions. We also believe in establishing a good line of communication with regulators before a problem develops and can help your company develop or enhance its reputation as a responsible corporate citizen.
CLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVE TRACKING
With the U.S. rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, the Biden Administration will adopt a broad approach to climate change, with each of the departments and agencies taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. WSG will assist clients in monitoring regulatory, policy, and legislative initiatives across government, including economic stimulus and infrastructure bills, and identifying new opportunities in the areas of clean energy, green jobs, energy efficiency, R&D funding, and tax incentives. WSG will help facilitate innovative partnerships and support for new technologies and provide strategic guidance and outreach.
