Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies

What Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies does

Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies is a bipartisan government relations practice organized as an LLC and domiciled in Pennsylvania, operating as an affiliate of the international law firm Cozen O'Connor (established 1970, 775+ attorneys, 31 offices across two continents). The firm represents clients before federal, state, and local government, with a service portfolio that spans federal lobbying, state and local lobbying, strategic communications and reputation management, procurement grants and loans assistance, policy monitoring and analysis, and crisis management. Its clients include corporations from Fortune 500 to start-ups, non-profit institutions, national trade associations, and high-profile individuals, across sectors such as healthcare, transportation, hospitality, education, construction, energy, real estate, entertainment, financial services, insurance, technology, privacy, and trade.

Delivery is conducted through eight physical offices in Washington DC (headquarters at 2001 M Street NW), Philadelphia, Albany, New York City, Richmond, Harrisburg, Chicago, and Santa Monica, with the firm's scale commentary emphasizing one of the largest state attorneys general practices in the country, a strong governors practice, and substantive impact in three of America's six largest cities. Business development is sales-led and driven by reputation, practitioner relationships, and thought leadership content rather than product-led or digital channels.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees paid by clients under retainer arrangements and project-based engagements; pricing is custom-negotiated based on scope and complexity and is not publicly disclosed. The firm supplements direct engagement with a content ecosystem comprising the Beltway & Beyond Podcast, the Cozen Currents weekly newsletter, and seven regional newsletters (Broad Street Brief, New York Note, Illinois Insights, Minnesota Minute, Virginia Viewpoint, Pennsylvania Perspective, and Cozen Cities) that collectively function as a top-of-funnel client development channel.
