Core Competencies

Oxley Consulting’s core competencies include federal and state government relations (lobbying), business development, public affairs, international relations, and strategic marketing services. These capabilities are performed by a network of experts dealing in a wide range of specialty practice areas. We also bring years of experience and knowledge of Federal Government agencies and departments. Our affiliates have served under both Republican and Democrat Administrations, and include former Members of Congress of both parties, Congressional staff, state representatives, staff of Governors and former corporate executives.

State and Local Government Relations

New trends in federalism continue to move regulatory and legislative power to the state and local levels. Policies ranging from antitrust enforcement to environmental protection to homeland security now impact companies as much in the states as in Congress or the federal bureaucracy. Oxley Consulting has Washington-based professionals, as well as strong strategic focus on state capitals, Albany in particular, that are epicenters of business-changing legislation.

Strategic Business Development and Marketing

The most successful companies are the ones constantly seeking growth by looking for new markets. The Oxley Consulting network of clients, strategic alliances and governmental contacts offers an array of opportunities. This includes the often-challenging world of US federal government procurement. Matching federal purchasers with clients' goods, services and technologies is a natural corollary to Oxley Consulting’s government affairs services. We are also adept at providing advice and counsel on overseas markets, as well as developing private sector sales and joint venture opportunities in the US.

e-advocacy

Concurrent with Oxley Consulting’s thought leadership, we created www.InsideLobbying.com as the preeminent layman’s guide to lobbying Capitol Hill. It is a free resource for concerned citizens, trade association legislative fly-in participants, and all those seeking to educate themselves beyond Civics 101. Additionally, we’ve teamed with Washington’s leading political intelligence firm, Illumen, in order to provide quantifiable new media (viral video, internet advocacy, outbound communications systems) strategies proven to increase your organization’s e-advocacy effectiveness.

International Relations

For many sovereign nations and entities, carefully monitoring developments and attempting to shape U.S. foreign policy can be central to the political, economic and policy successes of their government or political constituencies. Even in regions critical to U.S. foreign policy interests, it can be difficult to penetrate the domestic pressures on U.S. congressional leaders and appointed officials. And for private companies, today's global economy offers opportunities for investment that often involve numerous issues: US government support, in-country political and legal counsel, financing needs, and general political risk assessment. We can translate U.S. political dynamics and institutional roles, help assess and prioritize diplomatic or investment goals and garner the attention of key U.S. leaders by relating important international viewpoints in a manner that attracts support
