Some issues are central to a business’s long-term success or may have a dramatic and immediate impact on the transportation industry. When such issues arise, it is invaluable to be able to count on attorneys who have a broad understanding of the issues that frequently arise in transportation and their impact on your business or the transportation industry as a whole.

Scopelitis has a depth of experience counseling transportation businesses on the right strategic approach to advocate for the best outcomes for the industry. Such advice may include assistance with the identification of the key issues, identification of and coordination with like-minded stakeholders, selection of goals and priorities, determination of the right political or policy approach, and creating an effective message to share with decisionmakers. Such strategic advocacy support may be an on-demand response to a rapid change in policy or may be the result of a long-term goal that is years in the making.

Our work in developing an effective overall strategy for achieving regulatory or policy objectives often includes:

• Preparing effective presentations for meetings with government officials
• Developing talking points for meetings and presentations
• Drafting position statements, legal memoranda, and rulemaking petitions
• Identifying the appropriate government official(s) with responsibility for an issue
• Gathering intelligence on Congressional and Executive Branch matters
• Assisting clients in arranging in-person meetings with appropriate government officials
• Coalition building via multi-company and even multi-industry coalitions.
