Government Relations
With nearly a century of political and legislative experience, Larkin Hoffman's Government Relations practice group has earned a reputation for success fully representing clients before all levels of government: local, state and federal. We take on the responsibility for dealing with government entities so our clients can remain focused on their priorities.
Services we provide:

Our bipartisan approach to staffing provides effective representation when meeting with key elected and appointed officials. We use our knowledge of government to analyze and draft legislation; testify before committees and commissions; negotiate rule changes and sanctions; advocate in support of permits, contracts and financial awards; assist with competitive bid submissions and challenges; and advocate before state agencies and the office of administrative hearings. The Larkin Hoffman Government Relations team provides high-level interaction with Minnesota's government sector to deliver positive legislative and regulatory results for our clients.
