• MultiState Associates: Large-scale state and federal government relations firm representing corporate clients across multiple states and policy areas. Overlaps with FOCUS on multi-state legislative tracking but operates at a national scale well beyond a single-state boutique.
• Capstone Government Affairs: Bipartisan lobbying and government relations firm providing federal and state-level advocacy to corporate and institutional clients. Overlaps with FOCUS's bipartisan approach and service pillars but operates nationally rather than regionally.
