Cozen O’Connor Public Strategies (CPS) announced that Jessica I. Monahan — a transportation policy expert who has secured federal funding for a range of nonprofits, local governments, Fortune 100 companies, emerging businesses, and government contractors — has joined its Washington D.C.-based lobbying team as a senior principal.
We succeed as strategic advisors by enabling our clients to win in the noisy competition of ideas. We live and breathe the intersection of government, business, and culture. We seize the opportunities that change provides to the well-prepared.
Created just over a decade ago, and wholly-owned by Cozen O’Connor, a top 100 law firm, CPS is a lobbying and public affairs firm with top tier practices in Washington, D.C. and – notably – in politically important state and local markets. We work alongside the largest state attorneys general practice in the country, supplemented by a robust governor’s practice.
CPS is marked by an empowering culture that prioritizes collaboration as a core value. Respect for our teams, and their work, has established deep, trusted relationships with our clients. Our internal culture leads to our team blending seamlessly in client organizations.
Government is many organizations’ most important stakeholder, which is why lobbying and government relations are the core of our work. But the world is evolving, and customers, shareholders, employees, and the media – among other key audiences – are demanding accountability. We are attuned to this reality. We call it “The Future of Advocacy.” CPS supports our clients as they interact with, and tell their stories to, this diverse and intersecting group of stakeholders.
Accomplishing our clients’ complex goals requires the ability to advocate and shape outcomes at all levels of government.
That’s why we have top-tier practices in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Virginia, and some of the largest, most dynamic cities in the country: New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the District of Columbia. Our geographic diversity brings insight and perspective to our clients, as bottom-up innovation and disruption are pouring out of states and cities.
We are recognized as bipartisan, connected, and substantive. Our clients benefit from our team’s service in government and involvement in politics. We deliver results that range from sweeping impact to precision accomplishments with outsized client impact.
It is rare but invaluable for a firm to have both a federal practice and a potent multijurisdictional presence. Our work in state capitals and major municipalities benefits from insights into the nitty-gritty workings of government. We breathe real air, not just Beltway oxygen.
We represent leading trade associations. In addition, we are adept at creating, managing and building multi-partner coalitions designed to activate a range of audiences to collaborate on political and business objectives.
We are an affiliate of Cozen O’Connor, an Am-Law 100 firm. The firm’s rapid growth is the result of an entrepreneurial culture of candor, ethics, and hustle. Our team at CPS partners closely with Cozen O’Connor’s more than 825 attorneys, in diverse practice areas, located in 31 cities. We have the ability to rapidly scale resources to offer seamless advocacy services.
