Accomplishments

The Murtha Cullina Government Affairs team has successfully lobbied on behalf or professional organizations, businesses, trade associations, and not for profit organizations. Our past accomplishments include:

Secured a professional license for a professional organization to protect their professional integrity and ensure that industry safety standards are met in the field;
Secured bond money for a major not-for-profit organization for physical improvement and construction projects;
Defeated legislation that would have dismantled a well-established state permitting process;
Saved a program from elimination by restoring funding in a climate of state budget deficits; and
Passed legislation to expand professional and programmatic scope of practice.

Testimonials

"Our organization is very grateful to the Government Group at Murtha Cullina. Recently we were confronted with legislation that had serious implications for our members and would have created a very dangerous situation for the general public. Through effective legislative contacts, coalition building, and educating the administration and legislative leadership, the Group took immediate action and kept the legislation from being enacted. We are not represented more ably anywhere in the the US or abroad."

Grant D. Gillham
Executive Director, CFFSI

"For thirty-five years Connecticut Hospice has been providing patient-centered care for clients and families at the most critical times in their lives. The Government Affairs Group at Murtha Cullina has supported our efforts every step of the way assisting with needed funding, navigating administrative rules and educating public officials about the services we provide. I simply can't imagine not having this group as part of our team. They are innovative and results-oriented. It's that "can-do" spirit that makes them so successful and leaders in their field."

"Murtha Cullina's Government Affairs Group has represented the CRMA for over fifteen years. Our membership is incredibly diverse and includes some of the world's largest retailers and many small, 'Main Street' merchants. The team at Murtha understands the breadth of issues involved in running a retail establishment, no matter the size or customer base, and they represent our issues in a thorough and professional manner. Despite my having over 20 years experience in state government, I wouldn't make a move without them."
