Sanders and Associates, Inc. (legal name: Mark W. Sanders and Associates, Inc.) is a privately held, founder-owned government relations and public affairs firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1995 by Mark W. Sanders, an attorney admitted to the State Bar of Georgia since 1984 and a fixture at the Georgia Capitol since the 1970s, the firm serves corporations, trade associations, and institutional clients operating in Georgia.

The firm delivers three integrated service lines: Government Relations Services (strategic consulting, lobbying, and issue management), Economic Development Services (counsel on site selection, intelligence gathering, and political branding), and Procurement Assistance (helping clients win government contracts).

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven B2B enterprise field sales with no public pricing or marketing channels; client acquisition depends on professional reputation and direct engagement with decision-makers. The current named client portfolio includes GRA, RSM, GISA, South Fulton Community Improvement District, PCOM-Georgia, Renaissance Learning, and the Atlanta Dream, while a historic portfolio spans Accenture, Bank of America, Equifax, Toyota, Turner Broadcasting, Georgia Power, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the University of Georgia, and the American Cancer Society.
