Arnold & Porter

Arnold & Porter’s legislative and public policy practice advises clients across the healthcare, trade, infrastructure and financial services sectors, with both legal counsel and registered lobbyist support. It regularly supports clients in handling new regulatory proposals, federal agency shifts, and changing legislative priorities. Eugenia Pierson heads the Washington DC-based team, noted for her expertise regarding health policy issues related to hospitals and health systems. Kevin O’Neill has longstanding lobbying experience, working with clients in sectors from universities and units of local government to foreign sovereigns, while Mark Epley draws on experience in Congress and the Departments of Justice and Defense to advise clients in managing congressional scrutiny. For clients seeking advice when navigating the legislative process, especially with regard to child welfare, civil and human rights, and voting rights, Janice Bashford is a go-to, and Bobby McMillin has experience in intellectual property, drug scheduling, and cybersecurity policy. The team gained a number of experienced policy advisors in 2025.
