If your house is on fire, you call 911 to have the fire department put out the fire. However, before you ever get to the point, homes are designed and built in a way to protect against fires and minimize potential threats. In the same way, working with MLC can help effectively combat a figurative fire in which your interests are being threatened immediately. Additionally, through our strategic planning process and development, MLC can help insulate a client’s interests from potential threats or build a plan to effectively advocate for a policy change to help avoid ever reaching that point.

Playing the Long Game

Every state government has its unique challenges and Michigan is no different. Whether your goal is to proactively change Michigan law, go after a state contract or defend your business interests against a threat, engaging in State government can be vital to your long-term success.

MLC can work with you to develop a strategic plan to fit your individual needs and goals. Playing the long game can result in significant success by laying a foundation of educating policy makers on your business interests and fostering meaningful relationships with decision makers. Educating policy makers and building relationships before you ever have a specific need or ask can put you in a solid position when a legislative issue arises.

The House is burning, what should I do!?

However, there are times when companies or organizations get into a situation where their interests are being immediately threatened by legislation or administrative rules. In that moment you need someone who can go to work immediately on your behalf, and someone who has the relationships and experience to bring credibility to decision makers. MLC can fill that gap and ensure that even if you haven’t been in Michigan, or had the ability to develop a long-term strategy, we can effectively go to work on your behalf and make sure your interests are known, understood, and communicated to decision makers at the highest level.
