Government Affairs

Malkin & Ross’s (M&R) comprehensive approach to legislative lobbying and regulatory advocacy is designed to address the needs and objectives of our 50+ clients. Unlike most large lobbying firms whose clients’ primary concerns are the maintenance of the status quo, a majority of M&R’s clients seek major change in policy or budget priorities. This kind of lobbying often requires an aggressive, cutting-edge approach.

Our team has decades of experience and a network of relationships within the executive and legislative branches of government, state authorities and agencies, advocacy groups, and the media.

For more than 20 years, M&R has helped clients:

Organize and develop strategies for success;
Develop and execute local and statewide campaigns;
Craft powerful messages to educate and motivate the public;
Draft legislation and regulations to address concerns and track relevant bills;
Formulate, advance and defend positions with decision makers;
Secure bill sponsors and ensure the Governor’s signature;
Secure funding from the New York State Budget;
Build and promote partnerships with third-party allies;
Court the media to obtain press attention for clients’ campaigns; and
Manage political action committees (PACs).
