We have a deep understanding of the political process—in both the legislature and the administration. At Platinum, we have over 150 years of combined governmental advocacy expertise in the following areas.

 

Budget Advocacy- We have successfully guided many clients through the budget process by connecting them with the right people and strategically positioning them when submitting budget requests to the State Legislature and the Governor.

 

Entertainment – Platinum Advisors has been actively involved in high profile entertainment issues such as internet piracy, runaway production and artists’ rights. 

 

Food & Agriculture – California’s farming communities face unique challenges in the areas of urbanization, labor and environmental quality as state officials propose new policies to limit the use of land and water resources.  Platinum has successfully represented farm interests on issues including fee increases, drainage and water quality.

 

Health – Comprehensive health care reform and coverage for all are the two biggest issues facing California’s health care system today. Platinum has extensive experience working with leaders in the legislature, administrative and regulatory arenas on such issues resulting in years of success for our clients.

 

Local Government- California’s budget and revenue problems impact the overall business climate in the state, funding for education and infrastructure development, and local finance.  Platinum provides in depth analysis and consulting to local governments and provides critical information for a wide range of institutions outside the Capitol.

 

Procurement – Securing a contract through the state procurement process requires an understanding of the inner workings of state agencies and can also require the ability to secure ongoing funding through the legislative budget process.  Platinum Advisors has successfully guided our clients through this process and produced positive outcomes.

 

Tribal Gaming –Platinum Advisors provides strategic consulting, communications and lobbying support for tribal governments as well as companies interested in new business opportunities in the gaming industry.
