Public Policy Consulting


Griffin & Strong is a prominent force in policy consulting and research analysis at a national level, specializing in procurement, disparity, and economic impact studies. Our findings lead to tangible results, setting us apart as the sole law firm equipped to address issues identified in factual predicate studies with actual legislation.

G&S’s public policy consulting division is uniquely proficient in every stage and aspect of policy research and application, from analysis to drafting legislation, to program implementation. We apply a hands-on approach to the programs we design, and foster a practical learning environment for staff, ensuring seamless integration of new functions, tasks, and work processes arising from legislative changes spurred by our studies.

Experienced and Skilled

Attorney Rodney K. Strong procured and managed one of the first disparity studies in 1989, following the city of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co.488U.S.469, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that made these studies necessary.

As a law firm, we assist governments in effectively countering any legal challenges that may arise against new legislative initiatives. In order to sustain success with high-quality research, we must endeavor to understand the specific legal and political environment of each government client. As a result, we apply an open and flexible approach to develop policy options that are able to survive intense legal and political scrutiny.
