Where Business Strategies and Public Policy Work. Together.

Winstead’s Government Relations Practice Group represents clients before federal, state and local governments, positioning our clients’ concerns at the forefront of the agendas of legislative and regulatory decision makers.

Should existing or proposed laws not support our client’s goals, we may suggest changing the law.

With a reputation as persuasive and trusted lobbyists, Winstead’s lawyers and professionals, including Winstead Consulting Group, provide legislative solutions and ways to align business interests and public policy.

Reducing statutory barriers. Educating lawmakers and regulators on pertinent issues. Obtaining a green light for local projects. Earmarking federal funds. Introducing new players to the Texas market.

We act as influential problem solvers. Leverage our access to key decision makers. Work as bipartisan veteran government insiders. And are thoroughly vested and tested in the legislative and governing processes.

A notable presence in Texas-based matters, our government relations team counsels clients located throughout the nation and world. Among our achievements are: 

• Winning the bid for the master developer of Austin’s airport
• Securing federal appropriations for educational and agricultural groups
• Developing financing of Houston’s health care facilities
