Blank Rome Government Relations

What Blank Rome Government Relations does

Blank Rome Government Relations LLC is a Washington, D.C.-headquartered government affairs and strategic communications firm founded in 2003. The company provides lobbying, policy advocacy, and strategic advisory services to businesses and government entities navigating complex issues across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The firm operates as a majority-owned subsidiary of Blank Rome LLP, an international legal practice, and maintains two offices — its primary headquarters at 1825 Eye Street NW in Washington, D.C. and a secondary office at 1271 Avenue of the Americas in New York — with a team of 11–50 employees.

The firm's offering is organized into six integrated service modules: Advocacy, Appropriations/Authorizations & Other Federal Funding, Government Business, Infrastructure Grants & Loans, Legislation & Regulation, and Public Funding & Financing. These services are delivered through a senior-led engagement model in which managing principals and senior advisors work directly with clients and government stakeholders. Notable domain specializations include U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works, permitting processes, and infrastructure project delivery across energy, transportation, maritime, and infrastructure sectors, most recently reinforced by the 2026 hire of a former Corps veteran as Senior Advisor.

The business runs on a professional services revenue model, charging consulting fees for government affairs representation and policy advisory work under quote-based engagement terms typical of the lobbying industry. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by thought-leadership marketing such as the firm's Executive Order Tracker publications and principal-level speaking engagements. The firm is privately held, does not disclose revenue, and operates exclusively within the United States.
