About Our Government Rela� ons Prac� ce

Clients with legal and business issues involving government regulation need the assistance of

attorneys with experience and relationships in this specialized area. Wright Lindsey Jennings’

Government Relations attorneys have substantial professional backgrounds in the public

sector and the experience crafting practical government relations solutions for our clients.

Both Justin T. Allen and Erika Ross Gee served as Chief Deputy Attorneys General for

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel before rejoining the firm, and they have broad experience

and contacts in all types of state government issues. Prior to joining the firm’s Government

Relations practice group, Jay Shue served as the state’s first Medicaid Inspector General,

overseeing the detection and investigation of fraud, waste and abuse in the Arkansas Medicaid

system. Because our attorneys are not only government relations professionals but also

experienced litigators, we are uniquely situated to represent any type of client interest

involving federal, state or local government at any stage of the process.

Likewise, our Government Relations attorneys are skilled in representing entities and

individuals in regulatory and licensure matters before government agencies and the legislative

branch.

We further assist our clients by analyzing and monitoring legislation, drafting new legislation

and proposed amendments, and preparing and presenting testimony on behalf of our clients

before legislative committees. Our extensive contacts and solid relationships throughout state

and local government benefit our clients in lobbying and direct advocacy before the Arkansas

General Assembly, the Governor, the Attorney General and individual state agencies, boards

and commissions. Our attorneys also advocate before municipal and county government on a

variety of regulatory issues. We have the experience to analyze complex situations, recommend

practical and innovative solutions and implement an effective government relations strategy.
