William-Lynn-James, Inc

William-Lynn-James was formed in 1984 to provide access to cost-effective professional services to clients in both the public and private sectors. We currently focus on economic development, governmental affairs and strategic planning, with specialties in international border-crossing issues, foreign trade, and customs and immigration issues. We have earned a reputation for providing our clients with the most accurate and objective findings and recommendations based on our experience and technical skills. Our approach to a project is to work with the client in establishing a mutually acceptable scope of services, budget guidelines, and implementation schedule and then to develop a work program that has a strong management component. Each project is then handled by a team of specialists that meets the objectives and timelines established for its services. We specialize in presenting our client's interests in an organized and effective fashion that can be understood by policy makers. By doing so, we help our clients shape public policy, rather than be shaped by it. William-Lynn-James has addressed numerous trade issues in the public and private sectors; has obtained favorable legislation or amended legislation on behalf of various clients; has assisted U.S. exporters and foreign investors; has promoted clients' interests in negotiations and trade agreements; and has nurtured international joint ventures. This work has developed a core of expertise for the Firm in transportation, trade, environment, and infrastructure issues. Our wide range of professional skills provides creative solutions to the most challenging client assignments. We give clients the understanding necessary to identify alternative courses of action and make informed decisions. Through the Horizon Study process, we assist clients in understanding the issues and opportunities of the future and in organizing the resources needed to influence future outcomes.
