California Legislative Advocates Renamed Creative Legislative Solutions

Online, January 4, 2011 (Newswire.com) - "We chose 'Creative Legislative Solutions' to reflect our more national focus. Since we serve an array of clients from around the state and the country representing their interests at the municipal, state and national levels the new name seems more appropriate." Lantry explains. "Though we are based in California, our expertise is in finding creative solutions utilizing our vast experience, knowledge of the inner workings of government entities and our broad web of relationships at all levels of government regardless of the client's or the issue's geographic location."

Since 1986 when Jim first founded the firm, he has relied upon his extensive experience in both government and the private sector to serve as what he likes to refer to as a bridge between the firm's clients and the government. "Business and government speak different languages and our firm bridges that gap," he explains.

As a boutique government affairs firm, Creative Legislative Solutions operates based on the philosophy that each client and each issue is unique. "We are definitely not a 'one size fits all' outfit. We work in collaboration with clients to come up with a tailored approach to achieve their specific goals. In some cases that may mean that we work to defeat legislation or regulations that will negatively impact their interests. In other cases, we may partner with government entities to introduce positive impact alternatives. What we always do, is ensure that we have a well researched, in-depth understanding of our clients' needs and the legislative and political environment in which they are operating. We like to say that we do what we do best so our clients can continue to do what they do best, which is run their business."

In the course of more than a quarter century of operation, the firm has established a reputation for honesty, integrity and excellence and has enjoyed a growing client list ranging from multi-national conglomerates including General Electric, United Parcel Service and Home Depot to local small businesses and nonprofits. The firm has had great success representing client interests in the areas of land use and environmental issues, immigration reform, workers compensation, transportation and issues relating to children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. Over the last 26 years Lantry's firm has generated more than $30 billion in profits and savings for its clients. "The common thread connecting all of our clients and their unique issues is their need for 'a seat at the decision making table', which is what we provide," Jim says. " Our established relationships and knowledge of 'the process' are applicable to virtually all areas of public policy. After gaining an in-depth understanding of our clients' specific circumstances, interests and goals, we are ready to hit the ground running on their behalf."
