New York New York City & Albany

New York Public Strategies operates at the intersection of the state’s two defining centers of power—Albany and New York City. Founded by Stuart Shorenstein and led by Katie Schwab and Rose Christ, our team brings decades of experience in government, lobbying, strategic communications, and political campaigns.

We represent a broad range of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, real estate developers, retailers, technology and online businesses, startups, nonprofits, and cultural organizations. With respected relationships across the governor’s office, mayoral administrations, the state legislature, local governments, and community stakeholders, we help clients build support, engage decision-makers, and move priorities forward by understanding the interplay between upstate and downstate interests and the distinct roles of city and state government.

Whether advancing legislation, navigating regulatory challenges, managing stakeholder engagement, pursuing public funding and procurement opportunities, or responding to evolving political developments, we provide practical, results-oriented advocacy grounded in experience and trusted relationships.

As part of Cozen O’Connor Public Strategies and the broader Cozen O’Connor platform, our New York team collaborates with a national network of government relations professionals, strategic communicators, and legal professionals to deliver integrated advocacy and strategic counsel across local, state, and federal issues.
