OPTIMIZING CHANGE
On behalf of our clients, we anticipate the implications of change and adapt our strategies to manage transitions and successfully advance our clients’ goals. Our focus is both managing and optimizing change: assessing readiness and then aligning the strategy and tactics to maximize advancement of policy agendas and achievement of overall goals. We offer a comprehensive understanding of the realities facing issues of concern to our clients – through political forecasting and analysis of the full governmental atmosphere.
PUBLIC POLICY
Government officials make decisions on a daily basis that have far-reaching consequences for any organization. Everyone has the right to be heard, and to have a strong voice in the governmental process. We are seasoned pathfinders, helping our clients navigate the terrain of federal, state, and local governments and advance their agendas in Boise, throughout the state, and beyond.
Eiguren Merrill Public Policy has decades of bipartisan experience collaborating and participating in the development and execution of effective business and public policy strategies. We work closely with clients to understand their business needs – both legislative and regulatory – and help create and implement an effective lobbying strategy through direct advocacy at the local, state, and national levels for the passage or defeat of legislation. We also draft and develop legislation that meets the needs of your organization.

Our seasoned team specializes in all aspects of governmental affairs, including legislative and executive agency advocacy in Idaho and Washington, D.C.
