Government Relations & Lobbying
Where the rules get made.
Development in Hawaiʻi runs through public processes. We work them at the state and county level, and we frame the path when a matter reaches the federal table.
State and county. Real record.
Hawaiʻi's public processes
Bills, hearings, agency rulemaking, and the calendar that governs all of it. We track legislation that moves the ground under a project and counsel clients through the approvals that decide whether it gets built. This is settled work for the firm.
- Legislative tracking and testimony strategy
- State and county agency approvals
- Land use and entitlement advocacy
- Reading new statutes for clients before they take effect
Federal. Capability, stated honestly.
Toward the federal level
When a matter touches a federal agency or the attention of Washington, we map the route and bring in counsel who works the District. We will not claim a federal practice or a D.C. office we have not built. Where a real credential belongs, it goes here once the firm confirms it.
One thread, both ends
