Golden Coast Strategies was founded to help clients navigate legislative and regulatory challenges and create strategies to run effective government relations programs.

Companies and non-profit organizations often miss opportunities to engage advantageously with government agencies and legislators. From working at the wrong level of government to not aligning internal stakeholders, missteps can cost organizations time and capital, at the same time degrading the operating environment for their businesses. 

This can be particularly risky for start-ups and companies that do not invest in government relations. Companies that are not part of discussions with legislators and regulators can miss learning about and blocking, directing or adding weight to proposals that could be helpful for harmful to their businesses. For disruptors, competitors and entrenched incumbents who are already engaged with government bodies can, and often will, stymie efforts to fully get up and running.  

Golden Coast Strategies works with clients to evaluate the risk government poses to business, and what level of government and government bodies pose the greatest risk. Strategic recommendations will be made about how, when and where the client company should engage – from relationship-building to legislative monitoring to engaging with their trade associations, to direct advocacy.
