Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Success in government relations comes down to a few key factors: (1) a technical understanding of the policy and political landscape; (2) the depth and breadth of relationships and understanding of how to best position an issue to key stakeholders; (3) excellent judgement. Mayer Brown's GR team has these in spades.’
‘Their team takes a deep understanding of our business, and works as an extension of our team to positively impact our external operating environment. Their key people are best in class. In a city without shortage of lobbyists, Mayer Brown's people differentiate through a keen understanding of the policy landscape, deep personal relations and an unparalleled strategic mindset.’
‘Andrew Olmem is the embodiment of what excellence looks like in government relations and corporate strategy.
