Whether it’s a developer’s proposal or a utility’s plans to support it, the emergence of sophisticated organized opposition to new development increasingly calls for grassroots and grasstops mobilization, public relations, and government relations support to achieve success. McGuireWoods Consulting has assembled a cross-disciplinary team to assist clients with all aspects of real estate development and environmental projects.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
We help companies maximize their ESG efforts by analyzing the public affairs and ESG landscape relevant to our client’s business and creating ESG content that is easily digestible to multiple audiences, including investors, rate and ranker organizations, local leaders and community members, and state and federal regulators.
Environmental Justice
McGuireWoods Consulting’s environmental justice team helps businesses track legislation across the country related to environmental justice initiatives, provides insight on potential federal policy changes and boots-on-the-ground services in public meetings and community education.
We track legislation across the country, and our Washington, D.C. team provides insights on potential federal policy changes. Our national in-house advocacy team, MWCAdvocacy, provides boots-on-the-ground services in public meetings and community education. Finally, MWC’s connection to attorneys at McGuireWoods LLP rounds out our team of professionals for any environmental and/or local zoning, permitting or litigation issues that may arise.
Affordable Housing
We offer the knowledge, experience and strategic insights clients need to navigate the challenging regulations and policies that shape this sector. The distinctive value our team brings to solving major public policy challenges lies not only in our ability to help clients craft workable policy proposals, but in the design of sophisticated, multifaceted message development and issue advocacy strategies that successfully convert the proposals into law.
Our experience includes representing manufactured housing industry, creating and expanding tax credits for affordable housing, landlord-tenant regulation, finding opportunities for public-private and housing finance opportunities for developers and equity funds, property evaluation structures and successful land use entitlement applications.
