Our Federal Policy team includes two former members of Congress – one Republican, one Democrat – as well as former senior congressional and committee staff and former executive branch officials. We provide a full range of federal government affairs, public policy and lobbying services to businesses of all sizes. Global corporations and startup firms turn to us because we provide clients with careful, competent counsel and because of our solid record of accomplishment advocating to shape policy outcomes on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch.
BakerHostetler has a decadeslong commitment to ensuring distinguished former members of Congress – including former representatives Mike Oxley and Mike Ferguson, among others – lead our Federal Policy team.
The 2023 addition of former Rep. Peter Roskam as leader of the Federal Policy team affirmed our reputation as a preeminent policy and lobbying firm among Washington decision-makers. Roskam served for more than a decade in the House and played leadership roles in key legislative milestones, including the enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He served on the House Ways and Means Committee, including as chairman of three separate subcommittees: Tax Policy, Health and Oversight. He also served in the House leadership, chosen by then-Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy as his chief deputy whip.
