Research and Policy Analysis

The key to any meaningful public policy is sound research and the development of a long-term strategy to implement the resulting policy. Mr. Brown has developed exceptional research skills, and is often called upon to research complex public policy issues for clients. These research projects are structured to provide the client with a usable product that can be developed into a blueprint for public policy advocacy, to support the public policy positions of the client or to advance the reputation of the client.

It is often the case that public policy recommendations must be presented to a legislative or regulatory body. Depending upon the nature of such a presentation, the recommendations may be considered lobbying under Colorado's Sunshine Law. When necessary, Mr. Brown will register as a professional lobbyist with the Colorado Secretary of State and submit required reports. Not all presentations to legislative or regulatory bodies constitute lobbying under the Colorado Sunshine Law, and Mr. Brown frequently provides information and testimony based upon the research he has done for clients.

In more than 30 years of service, Mr. Brown has represented clients in the following areas:

  • Banking & Finance
  • Long-term Water Supply Development and Conservation
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Solid Waste Management and Recycling
  • Energy Development - including alternative renewable energy sources such as solar and hydroelectric.
