Government Relationships
What sets Powers, Griffin & Hill apart are the unique relationships and experiences that lead to results. The lobbying team is comprised of professionals with experience as governmental leaders and advocates on both the local and state level. The lobby team has deep connections with key legislators, with some team members working at the Capitol or in the Administration. These relationships with key public officials are long-standing – based on friendships and trust earned over many years.
Team Approach
The firm also functions as a full team - rather than as lobbyists with independent relationships - to leverage collective strengths and insights. This approach has earned the firm a reputation of being efficient and effective, regardless of client or topic.
Serving CT's Key Industries
Powers, Griffin & Hill represent clients in a variety of areas - including healthcare, transportation, taxation, economic development, energy, bonding and insurance. Depending on the issue, firm services may include lobbying the legislature, lobbying the Administration, coordinating a grassroots or public relations campaign, or representing the client before a state agency - whatever appropriate action it takes to obtain a positive outcome for our client.
Current Government Information
