Devine Millimet's lawyers and lobbyists believe that our clients' interests can best be protected and advanced by active involvement in the governmental and political processes which shape New Hampshire's laws and regulations. Understanding and influencing the ever-changing statutory and regulatory landscape protects clients from unwelcome legislative surprises and alerts them to opportunities for positive changes to existing laws and policies.

Based in our state capital office in Concord, New Hampshire, the Governmental Relations Practice Group is a collection of lawyers and lobbyists well versed in the ways of state and federal government operations. Their constant presence in the halls and committee rooms of the country's largest legislature ensures Devine Millimet knows the elected officials, the executive department personnel, the issues, and the likely outcomes of matters on the legislative and rulemaking agendas.

We are able to draw upon the firm's expertise in areas such as taxation, utilities, health care, zoning and planning, environmental regulation, insurance, and employment law to name a few, and apply that knowledge to matters that could effect legislation or rules.

There is much at stake for our clients when New Hampshire's laws and regulations are written or amended. Whether it is a proposed new tax, the regulation or deregulation of an industry, or, simply, the need to know how the system works and who is working it, Devine Millimet's Governmental Relations group has the skills, experience and relationships needed to ensure that our clients' interests are protected and their visions are advanced.
