What Corcoran Partners does

Corcoran Partners is a Florida-based, full-service government relations and public affairs firm founded in 2001 that represents clients before local, state, and federal governments. The firm offers five core service lines: Government Relations (lobbying, advocacy, consulting, and relationship building with policymakers), Crisis Management (regulatory risk mitigation and post-crisis policy adaptation), Strategic Communications (real-time legislative updates, daily publications, and editorial support), Business Development (facilitating partnerships, contracts, and favorable policy changes via government connections), and Resource Development (procurement assistance, grants, and funding applications). Client segments include multinational corporations (Verizon, Fontainebleau Development), small and medium-sized businesses, non-profit organizations (Feeding Tampa Bay, The Promise Fund), public and quasi-public institutions (Tampa Bay Chamber, Miami-Dade Public Schools), and industry associations (Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County). Service delivery is supported by a proprietary legislative tracking system providing real-time intelligence and the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) strategic planning methodology.

The firm operates from five offices — Tallahassee (state capitol advocacy), Land O' Lakes (headquarters), Miami (South Florida), St. Petersburg (Tampa Bay west), and Washington D.C. (federal) — and employs between 11 and 50 people. The senior team is composed predominantly of former Florida political and government operators, including former Miami-Dade County Commissioners, state legislative senior advisors, and ex-City of Hialeah administration, which the firm positions as its primary competitive differentiator. Revenue is generated through professional services retainers (pricing not publicly disclosed), and the firm reports no public revenue figures, funding rounds, or external investment. It was named 2025 Lobbying Firm of the Year by INFLUENCE Magazine and is consistently ranked among top Florida lobbying firms by INFLUENCE Magazine, Florida Trend, Southern Political Report, and Sunshine State News.
