Client Oriented. Results Driven.

 

Empire Strategic Planning (ESP) is a client-focused, respected, and experienced lobbying  firm specializing in state and local government relations in New York.


Experience, trust, professional competence, and attention to detail are the key elements of any successful business relationship. At ESP, we firmly believe that each client deserves a level of service based upon these fundamental principles. Perhaps that is why ESP is one of the fastest-growing and among the most highly respected government relations firms in New York.


Experience.


ESP's principals have more than nine decades of combined government experience at the state, city and local levels. They have served as elected officials, worked as leaders of important government agencies, and functioned as legislative staff and executive managers. They know how government works at every level because they have been there and done it. At ESP, our combined experience and knowledge benefits our clients from the first meeting, in which we seek to understand your organization's needs, to subsequent meetings where we help you devise a strategy to achieve your professional goals.


Trust.


ESP has excellent working relationships with the key decision-makers throughout New York who can help determine the successful outcome of any government relations effort. Our record of accomplishment and established level of trust with both state and local elected officials and policy-makers works to our clients' advantage as we engage with these individuals on your behalf.


Recognizing that a  successful outcome is one that is equitable for all parties involved, ESP enjoys a reputation for getting the job done that has earned it the respect, admiration and cooperation of government leaders and decision-makers at every level across the state.


Professional Competence.


The professionals at ESP have both the experience and technical expertise to help clients navigate the complex legislative, regulatory and political landscape in New York. Combining practical experience with substantive knowledge in the areas of legislation, law and public affairs, the ESP team has the capacity to conceptualize, research, design and implement an effective government relations plan on behalf of your industry, business or organization.


Attention to Detail — and Clients.


ESP is client-driven. First and foremost, that means you can expect a fast response to an inquiry or request. Second, you can count on ESP to contact you whenever there is a development that could impact the interests or operation of your organization or business. And once we resolve an issue for you, we believe in follow-up to make sure that a problem solved stays solved. Our prompt, focused and undivided attention to the needs and priorities of our clients is what sets ESP apart from other firms.
