The State Capital Global Law Firm Group — of which Kegler Brown is a founding member — is also a critical tool used to serve our clients in jurisdictions outside of Ohio. Through this organization, we have developed personal relationships with leading attorneys who maintain strong governmental affairs practices in every state capital and in most major international capitals. These relationships allow us to provide our clients real-time information and access to experienced local counsel in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Additionally, our attorneys understand political sensitivities and are involved with both major political parties. Our ability to quickly review pending legislation and prepare necessary amendments and corresponding position memoranda enables us to build consensus and to lead diverse coalitions in the passage of or defeat of targeted legislation. Kegler Brown attorneys often testify before committees in the Ohio legislature, other state legislatures, the U.S. Congress and other federal agencies.

At Kegler Brown, delivering the results that further the mission of your organization is the only means by which we measure our success. This demands that we never lose sight of the fact that our first order of business is knowing yours.
