Government Affairs & Regulatory Support

Stroock’s Government Affairs and Regulatory Group presents an inter-disciplinary approach to achieving successful resolution for our diverse set of public and private sector clients. We encompass a broad range of practice areas that are out-facing to the government. Our lawyers appear before local, state and federal agencies spanning today’s ever more complex network of statutes, rules and regulations. Our clients range from some of the nation’s largest public sector unions to multinational corporations to private entities and individuals in need of assistance in accomplishing tax-efficient results.

Our team has deep experience in compliance audits, internal investigations and responding to government inquiries related to corporate governance and operations matters. We assist our clients in securing regulatory approvals, establishing robust compliance programs and safeguards, and successfully navigating government contracting. Our lawyers advise on complex matters across practices and industries, including banking, insurance, tax, environmental issues, estate planning, employment law, executive compensation and ERISA. We are also equipped to represent both our individual and corporate clients aggressively when they face civil and criminal enforcement actions. Our white-collar team is comprised of sophisticated negotiators with significant government experience who are prepared to take cases to trial should that be needed.

While we offer clients a deep bench in traditional regulatory and compliance work, Stroock also has several distinguishing practices. As one of the nation’s leading firms representing public sector unions, we are uniquely situated to advise on various matters related to the needs of municipal labor unions and their benefit funds, and we are home to one of the nation’s top election law and campaign finance practices. Our group also has a particular focus on assisting foreign investors, offering clients a market-leading practice involving the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Our environmental and energy lawyers are fluent in the latest ESG, Climate Mobilization Act and other regulatory developments. In the area of private client services, our team has extensive experience providing creative, tax-compliant estate planning solutions both to individuals and as outside counsel to significant family offices. In today’s ever complicated world, our ability to bring overlapping fields together propels us to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
