What Griffin & Strong does

Griffin & Strong, PC is a privately held, attorney-led law and public policy consulting firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded around 1989 in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson decision, the firm positions itself as a national specialist in disparity studies, procurement efficiency studies, and economic impact analyses that government agencies require to legally defend race-conscious contracting programs. Founder and CEO Rodney K. Strong managed one of the first such studies in 1989, and the firm has since built a multi-decade methodology that it claims no competing law firm matches.

The firm's service portfolio is organized across four verticals: Government Services (procurement efficiency studies, disparity studies, economic impact studies, market disparity analysis, workforce analysis, economic opportunity analysis, and program legislation and implementation), Corporate and Non-Profit Solutions (supplier diversity program management, program implementation, contract compliance, and community economic development), Business Legal Services (government contracts and procurement, certifications and compliance, and estate planning for entrepreneurs), and Individual and Family Services (contracts and civil matters, real property and land estate solutions, and heir property resolution). Operational scope is national, with named engagements spanning at least nine states, while staffing operates from a single Atlanta office at 235 Peachtree St NE.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services–based and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed pricing. GTM is enterprise field sales through direct outreach, RFP responses, government procurement offices, and industry conferences (notably ACCA National Training Institute and NAMC Annual Conference). Customer concentration sits squarely in the public sector, including a 22+ year relationship with Metro Nashville and Davidson County and marquee enterprise logos such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium, College Football Hall of Fame, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and New World of Coca-Cola. Complementary marketing channels include the Compliance Compass newsletter, educational webinars, and program guides that reinforce the firm's role as a thought-leadency interpreter of DBE/ACDBE regulatory changes such as the USDOT Interim Final Rule.
