Washington D.C. - Based Corporate Affairs
As part of our Washington, D.C. communications practice, we provide substantive support for the technology sector, including:
- Technology Licensing
- Technology transfer and export control matters
- Trademark, copyright, patent prosecution and software matters
- Public advocacy of high-technology issues
Luxcore, Ltd.'s Washington colleagues also execute related public affairs services. We possess these strategic capabilities:
FDA Consulting: Management of the FDA relationship and the regulatory approvals and compliance process; liaison with the agency on behalf of clients undergoing or anticipating FDA product approvals or regulatory actions: for one client, we devised a program to track each shipment of medical devices from the time it left port and was distributed in the U.S., enabling the client to forestall public seizures of products, thereby avoiding damage to commercial reputation and lost sales.
Advocacy: Develop and implement comprehensive political action plans to impact legislative proposals; contact key members of the House and Senate committees; grass-roots programs; media relations to convey coalitions' messages to Congress and the public; encourage the introduction of legislation more fairly representing client positions.
Grass-roots Constituency Development: Draft the language for bills to secure relief desired by clients and assist in identifying congressional members to introduce the legislation; help garner co-sponsors in the House and Senate; develop a state-by-state direct-contact campaign key to legislative timetables.
Legislative Monitoring and Analysis: Set up ongoing programs with real-time monitoring and analysis of developments throughout official and unofficial Washington; provide interpretations of these developments to help client companies make informed decisions.
Trade Association Communications: Develop strategies that position trade associations and their members as the more sympathetic "David" juxtaposed to the "Goliath" image and tactics of larger institutions and their allied policy makers.
Communications Counsel for Judicial Proceedings: Analyze previous similar cases and assess local print interest and potential national coverage. Create strategy for anticipated litigation, with materials readied, option responses developed, spokespersons trained, and allies pre-identified.
Congressional/Judicial Testimony and Media Training: Preparation for congressional and judicial testimony, including key message development; Q&A; presentation; interview scripting; mock hearing simulation and related media training.
