Yoswein New York

What Yoswein New York does

Yoswein New York is a boutique public affairs and government relations firm founded in 1994 by former New York State Assembly Member Joni Yoswein. Headquartered at 111 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, the firm operates with a deliberately small team of approximately five professionals and serves a selective roster of enterprise, non-profit, government, and institutional clients across New York City and State. The firm delivers services across four integrated practice areas: Land Use Consulting, Legislative & Budget Lobbying, Grassroots Campaigns & Coalition Building, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship Services.

The firm's business model is principal-led professional services, with senior leadership personally engaged on every client matter. Revenue derives from project-based and retainer fees for government relations, land use approvals, legislative advocacy, and grassroots campaign work. Notable client engagements include securing over $1 billion in state investments for SUNY Downstate Medical Center, $13 million in capital funding for Brooklyn Public Library's 62 branches, permanent pandemic-era hospitality legislation, and Amazon Web Services' cloud-first legislation for NYC agencies. The firm holds WBE and MWBE certifications and is founder-owned with no institutional investment or parent company.
