Government

We Know New Hampshire Government. We’ve Been There.

McLane Middleton has a deep bench of attorneys and professionals with experience at the highest levels of state government.  Our team includes three former Attorneys General, two former Assistant Attorneys General, a former Chair of the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission, and former Chiefs of Staff to the New Hampshire Senate and two Governors. This firsthand experience gives us an unmatched understanding of how government works – from policy development and legislative strategy to agency rulemaking and regulatory enforcement.

Our attorneys have represented clients before nearly every major state agency, including the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee, Department of Environmental Services, the Public Utilities Commission, Department of Transportation, Department of Justice and beyond. We understand the nuances of government decision-making and how to engage effectively with policymakers and regulators.  Whether your business is facing a licensing issue, a rule change or a policy challenge, we bring practical, strategic guidance rooted in experience.

We offer a full range of services in the areas of Regulatory, Litigation, and Government Relations.  From representing clients in complex administrative proceedings and rulemaking processes to serving as legislative counsel and registered lobbyists, our team helps businesses navigate the regulatory environment with confidence.  We also support clients in managing relationships with elected officials, testifying before legislative committees and crafting effective advocacy strategies.

Through McLane Middleton GPS, our public affairs consulting subsidiary, we offer expanded capabilities in government and public affairs strategy, lobbying, coalition building and crisis communications.  GPS advisors have led major legislative initiatives, secured significant state contracts and helped clients shape public perception through strategic messaging and media engagement.  Their bipartisan approach and deep roots in New Hampshire’s public policy landscape help clients achieve results in even the most challenging environments.

At McLane Middleton, we believe that experience matters – especially when working with government.  Our legal and consulting teams combine legal insight with public sector knowledge to help clients seize opportunities, manage risk and overcome regulatory hurdles.  Whether you’re seeking guidance on a proposed law, need representation before a state or federal agency, or are looking to shape policy that affects your industry, we are here to help.
