Our Expertise

Expertise demands perspective—and perspective changes outcomes. Our expertise spans the issues shaping that future—from consumer products, broadband and transportation to higher education and the state’s emerging climate and technology priorities. We bring insight that informs action and action that drives progress.

Clean Energy

California’s clean energy future demands a new perspective. We help clients navigate the complex intersection of law, regulation, and state mandate with clarity and strategy.

Our work reshapes how stakeholders engage with CARB, CPUC, and CEC and other state agencies and departments, to advance a cleaner, more affordable, and more innovative energy system.

What we move forward:

  • Priorities in energy affordability, decarbonization, and utility reform.

  • Strategic engagement with agencies and departments to shape grid modernization and rulemaking.

  • Policies accelerating innovation, and emerging clean technologies.

  • Regulatory frameworks that align renewable procurement with corporate sustainability goals.

Broadband & Telecom

Next-generation infrastructure requires next-generation thinking—built on perspective, strategy, and the ability to see around corners.

We address the technical and policy challenges that define California’s broadband future, leveraging state programs and navigating regulatory barriers to advance climate-aligned connectivity.

How we shift the landscape: 

  • Advocate for regulatory relief that keeps climate-focused infrastructure on track.

  • Design and execute strategies that secure exemptions from outdated or burdensome rules.

  • Navigate state frameworks that shape competition, commerce, and utility-telecom policy.

  • Build coalitions that strengthen and amplify client positions in the technology sector.

Education

California’s clean energy economy needs a workforce built for the future. 

We bridge education, climate policy, and workforce development to ensure students are prepared for the technologies shaping tomorrow. 

Where we drive alignment:

  • Advocacy connecting community college systems to the state’s green economy goals. 

  • Advising the Chancellor’s Office on climate, workforce development, and technology.

  • Aligning infrastructure development with institutional goals to address statewide climate challenges. 

  • Building partnerships between state agencies and industry to support student readiness. 

Transportation

Transportation policy is evolving, and the state’s investment strategy must evolve with it.

We bring a 360-degree view of public agencies and corporate partners to secure funding, elevate priorities, and protect California’s multimodal infrastructure.

How we create impact: 

  • Lead state budget and legislative strategies for major infrastructure funding. 

  • Advocate before CalSTA, CARB, and CEC on policy, regulation, and allocations. 

  • Represented public agencies with elected boards, including Metrolink and RCTC. 

  • Build public-private partnerships accelerating project delivery and efficiency. 

Electric Transition

Electrification isn’t incremental — it’s transformational.

We lead legislative and regulatory strategy across vehicle electrification, charging infrastructure, and zero-emission mandates, aligning private-sector ambition with California’s most forward-looking climate goals. 

Where we bring new perspective: 

  • Advocacy to accelerate EV infrastructure development and deployment.

  • Legislation that streamlines local permitting for charging infrastructure. 

  • Regulatory shaping of ZEV standards and Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rules. 

  • Strategies integrating clean mobility with public health, equity, and community outcomes. 

Consumer Goods

Consumer expectations are shifting — and so are the regulatory pressures.

We help major brands navigate the crossroads of privacy, data security, intellectual property, and digital commerce, protecting consumers while safeguarding brand autonomy.

Our strategic focus: 

  • Build coalitions to defeat legislation that threatens core business interests.

  • Craft advocacy that protects consumer data and intellectual property.

  • Represent major national brands — including a Fortune 25 company — on complex state policy. 

  • Provide counsel on governance, taxation, and economic incentive strategy.
