Summary | Team | Current Environment | P3
Carmen Group specializes in creating strategies to guide clients through complex legislative, regulatory, jurisdictional and competitive governmental proposal processes. We have specific experience related to the current economic stimulus and substantive expertise in many affected areas. We bring real insight to the intersection of business and government and understand how programs impact a wide range of businesses, communities and institutions. We have over two decades of proven success involving complex financial policy, including extensive experience with the S&L crisis and the RTC. We lead our industry in infrastructure development projects, including working with communities, government entities and public-private partnerships (P3).
The challenge for businesses and other institutions pursuing opportunity or relief will be to make their cases on both macro and micro levels. They must pass muster on overarching issues of transparency and accountability, make substantive, competitive arguments for their specific issue and demonstrate that they can quickly contribute to economic stimulus.
Carmen Group has deep expertise in responding to crisis and helping clients work with the government to cut through confusion and inertia and reach effective solutions. After 9/11 we helped expedite the reopening of Reagan National Airport and helped indemnify the cleanup of Ground Zero. We helped Dillard University rise after being submerged by Hurricane Katrina. We helped both financial institutions and communities work through the S&L crisis. We create legislative, regulatory and innovative financial strategies that align goals and create success across the full range of stakeholders. We have been integrally involved with the country’s infrastructure development since the creation of the national highway system and possess unequalled technical expertise.
We excel at defending the interests of causes with real merit. We mobilize affected communities to push back on global policies that are not appropriate in the specific context and work for the preservation and enhancement of economic development opportunities. We help businesses assess risk, ground strategy in political reality and create effective implementation plans.
