Thank: you for considering Messerli & Kramer P .A. to provide the Northstar Corridor <br />Development Authority with administrative and legislative representation. <br /> <br />As we discussed, government representation is a major area of practice and expertise within our <br />law firm. Messerli & Kramer P.A. has been present at the state capitol on behalf of its clients for <br />over twenty-five years. We have seven full-time government relations experts and five legislative <br />assistants who are able to provide complete state government representation throughout the entire <br />year. For the benefit of others in the Northstar Corridor Development Authority who may not be <br />familiar with our firm, I would like to emphasize a number of our particular strengths. <br /> <br />Our finn has developed a "team" approach to lobbying that has proven extremely effective over <br />the years. A lead lobbyist, assistant lobbyist and legislative assistant are selected to work with each <br />client. These individuals provide regular "hands-on" representation. Additionally, all members of <br />the department are regularly kept apprised of the work being done for all other clients so as to be <br />capable of assisting, should the need arise. <br /> <br />Messerli & Kramer P.A. is one of the few law firms that has a truly bi-partisan profile at the <br />Capitol. We have equally solid relationships with members of both parties and do not align <br />ourselves with a particular party or political philosophy. Since the vast majority of issues before <br />the legislature are non-partisan, our firm considers the vote of each legislator important, and none <br />is taken for granted. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1 <br />
