Lobbying

Legislative advocacy is the core of SMWK’s practice. Each of our attorneys and professionals has a deep understanding of Maryland’s legislative process.

We work hand-in-hand with our clients to develop legislative strategies that deliver results. Over decades of experience, the SMWK team has earned the trust and respect of Maryland’s legislative leaders and has developed the relationships needed to ensure our clients’ voices are heard. Over the years, we have helped our clients, both present and former, successfully pass legislation, and have actively advised others on how proposed legislation may impact their business. SMWK provides a full range of services to our legislative clients, including formulating legislative strategy, monitoring and analyzing legislation, drafting testimony, testifying at legislative hearings, and directly engaging with lawmakers.
