McGuireWoods Consulting’s Georgia state government relations team was named as some of the state’s top lobbyists by James Magazine.

The magazine states that rankings are based on a survey sent to the publications statewide subscriber base, as well of Georgia’s top lobbying and government affairs firms and clients.

The rankings focus on a criterion of three traits: integrity, ability to provide reliable information, and local and state legislative access and success.

From the firm’s Georgia team, James Magazine named senior vice president and director of the Georgia team Michael Shelnutt, senior vice president Spiro Amburn, vice president Danica Thompson and senior vice president Steve Tippins to the publication’s rankings.

A hub for Fortune 500 companies, Georgia offers a strong university to workforce pipeline and leads the country in employee migration. Our team combines business savvy with public policy know-how to support clients in any endeavor in the Peach State. 

Ranked as one of the state’s most influential lobbying firms by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, James Magazine and Southern Political Report, our bipartisan team serves clients at local and state levels before the General Assembly, executive branch, state agencies, boards and commissions.

A key differentiator is our ability to partner with Georgia’s local governments, higher education institutions, development authorities and other public entities to harness federal funding through congressionally directed spending. 

Congratulations to our Georgia team for this honorable distinction.
