General Info:
National Group, LLP, is one of Washington's premier lobbying firms, providing a wide variety of government relations consulting services to our non-profit, for-profit and municipal clients. While our capabilities in Washington are broad, we specialize in pursuing and securing appropriated funding for universities, colleges, hospitals, state and local governments and non-profit organizations through the annual spending bills that fund the agencies of the federal government. Founded in January 2001, National Group brought together a group of government relations professionals with extensive experience, exceptional contacts and an unparalleled depth and breadth of understanding of how things get done in Washington. The firm's founding principle was a simple one: to offer our clients the very best hands-on service for a reasonable price. To accomplish this, we operate in a way that other Washington firms do not. Having lobbied at some of the largest firms in town, our Partners understand that clients do not receive the quality service they deserve and expect when their efforts are handled by less-experienced, junior associates. That is why, The National Group, our Partners manage all efforts on behalf of our clients. Whether developing legislative strategy, conceiving and constructing project funding requests or lobbying Members of Congress and their staffs, our partners personally engage our clients and key Capitol Hill decision makers every step of the way. Over the past eight years, National Group has established itself as one of the most effective and successful lobbying firms in Washington. In its first year in existence, National Group was recognized as a 'lobbying firm to watch' by, Influence On-Line, an important Washington-based lobbying industry journal. Since then, the firm's work has been highlighted in Congressional Quarterly, Roll Call, The Hill and various other respected industry publications and major newspapers. While our experience and accomplishments on behalf of our appropriations clients are unrivaled, we have also represented major corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Eastman-Kodak, Corning, Xerox and others with major non-appropriations legislative efforts.
