Bockorny Group

What Bockorny Group does

Bockorny Group is a privately held, bipartisan government affairs and political consulting firm headquartered at 1201 15th Street NW, Suite 400, Washington D.C. Founded in 1994, the firm describes a thirty-year track record of providing legislative intelligence, strategic political guidance, and advocacy to organizations operating in regulated industries. Its operating model is explicitly principal-only, meaning senior staff work directly with clients on policy issues rather than delegating to junior consultants, and the firm maintains strategic partnerships with outside consulting firms to extend coverage into additional issue areas.

The firm delivers an integrated suite of nine service lines: Capitol Hill and White House Advocacy, Strategic Issue Analysis and Message Development, Bipartisan Stakeholder Mapping and Engagement, Legislative and Regulatory Strategy, Crisis Management, Coalition Building, Political Program Development, Real-Time Legislative Intelligence, and Congressional Caucuses engagement. Substantive expertise spans thirteen policy verticals including Agriculture and Animal Health, Education, Energy and Environment, Financial Services, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Immigration, Intellectual Property and Copyright, Telecommunications and Technology, Tax and Trade, Transportation and Infrastructure, Life Sciences, and Information Technology.

The firm makes money through customized professional services engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is relationship-driven: senior principals source and serve clients directly across the Washington policy ecosystem with no documented digital marketing, intermediary channels, or content marketing efforts. The named team comprises founder Dave Bockorny (Executive Chairman and CEO), principals Martin DePoy, Pete Lawson, Justin Lumadue, John Torres (CAE), Kaleb Kelly, and Ava Brooke, plus strategic partners Blair Larkins and Reece Langley. The firm serves clients nationally within the United States and reports no parent company, no outside investors, and no public listing.
