About Levin, Powers, Brennan & Shea, LLC

The effectiveness of any lobbyist is dependent upon his or her relationships with key legislators and others who work at the Capitol or in the Administration. What sets Levin, Powers, Brennan & Shea apart is that our relationships with key public officials are longstanding – based on friendships and trust that have developed over many years. Among the six lobbyists, our contacts and relationships are extensive throughout both the Capitol and the Administration. Our firm has earned a reputation as effective and successful due to our unique approach; by working as a team we utilize all our strengths and relationships for the benefit of our clients.

Established in 1999, Levin, Powers, Brennan & Shea is now one of Connecticut’s premiere governmental relations firms. LPBS provides its clients with an understanding of administrative, legislative and political process necessary to advance their business interests.
