Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – these inalienable rights, outlined in our Constitution, form the bedrock of Pursuit Advocacy’s mission, as the government affairs firm partners with clients every day to achieve their Pennsylvania state government goals.
From lobbying, procurement, securing grants, regulatory affairs, impacting legislation, political fundraising, and more, the women at this all-female firm are driven to craft a tailored plan that is guaranteed to help each client succeed – and they have the knowledge, passion, and experience to get the job done.
“We provide our clients with the superior services needed to resolve complex state government challenges by ably navigating the bureaucracy of Pennsylvania state government,” Pursuit Advocacy’s website states.
In essence, the firm focuses on providing the best lobbying services possible – regardless of client size or scope.
“Pursuit Advocacy represents large Fortune 500s, privately held businesses, non-profits, and trade associations,” firm Founder and Attorney Laura Kuller says. “We enjoy the diversity of the legislative and administration-related work that we do to help clients pursue state government solutions to their state problems. While my background is especially strong in complex legislative matters, Pursuit’s team successfully works on complex agency issues, including permits, compliance, grants, procurements, and other policy-related regulatory and agency matters.”
Pursuit Advocacy provides critical, timely insights and knowledge its clients demand; works to improve clients’ operations through legislative and regulatory action; and connects them with the right people when they need to complete permit applications, speak to lawmakers, or engage with other government officials. In fact, Kuller said the thing she values most about her business is going to bat for her clients, with whom she works to build mutual trust. The firm also stands out as a female-owned and operated business.
“Pursuit Advocacy’s unique voice is both in our being a woman-owned firm run by women and one that balances business savvy with the recognition that we are working at a time of divided state government with Democrats in the Administration and the House, while the Republicans control the Senate,” Kuller says. “We create and carry out complex legislative and administrative agency strategic plans that are supported by the longstanding relationships that Pursuit has built over decades, working with the General Assembly and Administrations.”
The presence of a split state government makes Pursuit Advocacy’s role even more important (albeit challenging) – though that would not cause the firm to shy away from navigating both parties.
“At our core, we are perhaps best defined by our focus on strong client service, attention to detail, and the perseverance to chase the client’s state government pursuit,” Kuller added.
As Pursuit Advocacy focuses on these core values – which have been the reason for its success and steady growth – the firm has been able to look toward the future with optimism and plans to expand its team.
“While we continue to grow and expand, our top priority remains providing quality lobbying efforts that our client partners need to succeed,” Kuller says. “ We learn their issues like they are our own, and we become passionate about creating and effectively implementing an individualized strategic plan so that our clients can find a solution to their Pennsylvania state problems and achieve their pursuits.”
In terms of pursuing the best possible outcomes for its clients, Pursuit Advocacy certainly lives up to its name. The future is bright for this determined, client-focused, and knowledgeable group of government affairs experts.
