Effective government relations is not just about access — it is about credibility, relationships, and strategy. RISE brings all three. Our team includes a former Maryland House of Delegates member and senior county government officials who have worked on both sides of the public-private table and understand how government decision-making really works.
Our practice is focused on Maryland — state, county, and local government — as well as Maryland's federal congressional delegation. We have helped clients navigate the legislative process, secure key regulatory approvals, and build the bipartisan support necessary to advance ambitious projects in complex political environments.
Government relations at RISE is not a standalone practice — it is integrated with our real estate, economic development, and financing expertise. We don't just open doors; we help clients walk through them with a credible story, a sound strategy, and the relationships to execute.
