Clients partner with us to study, analyze and advise on the economic impact of proposed and enacted regulations, legislation and policies across a wide range of issues. Our senior team of economic and public policy experts leverage their experience to determine outcomes and impact of proposed change, taking into consideration inherent uncertainties and risks in most decisions. We also realize that legislative and regulatory changes are not isolated but are often proposed among numerous policy shifts and we analyze the proposals against the backdrop of broader initiatives. We also work with clients on their strategic communications throughout the policy change to gain favor in the court of public opinion. Issues on which we are totally qualified to advise include: The effect of energy, environmental, healthcare, tax policy and other regulations on global competitiveness and business strategies Comparative analysis of proposed regulatory, legislative and policy alternatives Quantification of the impacts on the client, its competitors, the market segment and the broader economy Identifying, ranking and prioritizing the potential responses to the proposed policy changes Appropriate division of responsibility for federal and local regulators Effects of regulations on risk sharing across various constituencies Identification of unintended consequences and quantification of their impact
