Our Technology Team

Technology policy moves with the news cycle. A privacy bill with the wrong carve-out, a data center definition written too narrowly, an AI advisory committee you are not on, or a congressional investigation that catches you flat-footed can all reshape your business in ways that are hard to undo.

We help clients get ahead of these moments, whether that means securing a seat at the table where rules are being written, building the coalitions that move legislation, or positioning company leadership as the resource policymakers call first.

Led by Anderson Heiman, this team brings experience from and deep relationships in:

  • Key House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over technology, telecommunications, privacy, artificial intelligence, and national security
  • Federal agencies including the FTC, FCC, NIST, CISA, NTIA, and Department of Commerce
  • Leading AI advisory bodies, think tanks, and technology coalitions
