Squire Patton Boggs
Comprised of a bipartisan and bicameral team formed of many senior former leaders of government and top Capitol Hill staffers, Squire Patton Boggs is a destination of choice for foreign governments, trade and business associations, multinational corporations, and non-profit organizations. Key areas of strength include defense and security, IT, healthcare, education, energy, and manufacturing. Edward Newberry, who assists sovereign government clients and corporations with high-profile and difficult policy challenges, is managing partner of the firm’s global public policy group, while foreign investment, international trade, project development, and international treaty negotiations expert Robert Kapla and taxation and international trade specialist David Stewart co-chair the Washington DC-based practice. Patricia Doersch focuses on transportation policy, regulations, compliance and enforcement, while Aubrey Rothrock is engaged in coalition-building to reduce federal tax burdens, as well as healthcare, financial services, environment, transportation, and trade regulatory implications. Ludmilla Kasulke has an emphasis on international trade and policy, and Brandon Román is a key contact for nonprofit organizations in corporate formation and in obtaining tax-exempt status from the IRS. Former Chief of Staff to Senator John McCain and of counsel Pablo Carrillo has strong expertise in defense and national security matters, and Beth Goldstein supports on healthcare queries. The addition of Everett Eissenstat in June 2023 from in-house further strengthens the team’s trade offering.

‘We engaged Squire Patton Boggs when we were experiencing an urgent existential threat to the sustainability of our federally funded program. Despite the nearly impossible and sizable barrier of passing a standalone bill at the end of the Congressional session, we did it with steady guidance from SPB and by following a strategy that was designed specifically for the outcome we desired.’
‘Matched only by his dedication, Austin Harrison's nimble and expert assistance, led directly to passage of a standalone bill at the end of the 2022 Congressional session. From the beginning, Austin committed time to understanding who our organization was and what we were trying to achieve. His collaboration with our national and state partners in a bipartisan fashion was instrumental.’
