Dentons, the global law firm, today launched Dentons 50, a full-service, 50-state public policy and advocacy network offering unrivaled reach and depth in state capitols across the nation for clients in all industry sectors. The Dentons 50 network is a comprehensive, centralized resource for businesses with complex, multi-state policy matters.

Building from Dentons already strong state and local government affairs practices, and comprised of professionals with local expertise managing policy issues in centers of power on the state level, Dentons 50 leverages top tier government and public affairs resources to offer on-the-ground support as well as management of multi-state public policy and advocacy matters. Dentons 50 is a force multiplier—offering the ability to quickly mobilize, organize and activate public policy campaigns, and provide bespoke nationwide legislative tracking, visibility and relationship-building in new markets, and real time analysis of state, federal and local issues.

"No single professional services firm has been able to provide a full-service, 50-state public policy and advocacy solution for clients until now," said Eric Tanenblatt, co-leader of Dentons' US Public Policy and Regulation practice. "The broad array of public policy challenges faced by national and global businesses are unprecedented, and often cross state lines and become national in scope. Dentons 50 offers a one-stop resource for effective engagement and management of policy matters in every statehouse in the United States, with the local expertise to ensure effective advocacy."

"Dentons is focused on innovative solutions for our clients that provide a competitive advantage," said Mike McNamara, Dentons US managing partner. "Dentons 50 harnesses our deep experience in government affairs and public affairs campaigns, and offers clients a comprehensive solution to meet the most challenging public policy matters facing a range of industries."

Dentons' US Public Policy and Regulation practice is chaired by Ambassador Gordon Giffin, with Eric Tanenblatt and Mike Zolandz serving as co-practice leaders, and includes former national party officials, ambassadors, members of the US Congress and top aides to US presidents, governors and senators including Howard Dean, former US presidential candidate and former Governor of Vermont; Bill McCollum, former Attorney General of Florida and member of US Congress (FL); Thurbert Baker, former Attorney General of Georgia; and Ron Kaufman, former White House political director for President George H. W. Bush.
