McGuireWoods Consulting’s Texas Government Relations team was recently recognized by Capitol Inside as one of the top law firm lobbying practices in Austin in its “2016 Texas Lobby Power Rankings.” The Austin team was ranked fourth overall amongst the Top 20 lobbying firms.
Individually, the team had four lobbyists – Luis Saenz (17th), Mark Miner (25th), Jennifer Rodriguez (76th) and Kwame Walker (86th) – crack the Top 100 in the “Hired Guns” category and Cait Meisenheimer ranked 9th out of the Top 20 lobbyists amongst the “Rising Stars.”
“We are honored by the recognition from Capitol Inside, which is a direct result of the whole team working together to serve our clients,” said Holly Deshields, senior vice president and co-managing director of the Austin office. “Over the course of just a few years, we have been able to solidify McGuireWoods Consulting’s standing as a premier public affairs provider that was able to beat out significantly larger firms as well as those that have been around Texas much longer than our firm.”
