Porzio Governmental Affairs Holds Top Three Ranking Among Lawyer‑Lobbyist Firms as State Lobbying Reaches Record Levels

Share

Porzio Governmental Affairs continues to demonstrate its strength in New Jersey’s highly competitive government affairs landscape, ranking among  third among law firms with a government affairs practice statewide, according to the most recent data released by the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC).

The ranking comes amid a record year for lobbying in New Jersey, with total expenditures reaching $110.6 million in 2025 — the highest level since the state began tracking the data and the third consecutive year lobbying spending has exceeded $100 million. The surge reflects heightened legislative activity, major budget negotiations, and increased engagement across a wide range of policy areas, including health care, housing, and economic development.

In the latest reporting period, PGA recorded $2.06 million in lobbying receipts, representing a 23% year‑over‑year increase and one of the strongest growth rates among lawyer‑lobbyist practices in the state. This continued momentum reflects PGA’s expanding role in supporting clients navigating an increasingly complex and competitive policy environment, as more than 2,700 organizations hired lobbyists statewide — a record high

What continues to differentiate PGA is its broad and evolving public affairs platform rooted in New Jersey. In addition to lobbying, the team has expanded its footprint to include association management, business development, and procurement support, as well as advisory services that help organizations navigate local government processes, manage risk in residential and commercial development, and pursue broader strategic opportunities. With deep, locally grounded knowledge of the state’s legislative and regulatory environment, the team delivers targeted advocacy for clients across industries, professions, and organizations, even as competition intensifies in a crowded and fast‑moving policy arena.

As lobbying activity reaches historic levels and organizations increasingly seek informed, strategic representation in Trenton, Porzio Governmental Affairs remains a trusted partner for businesses, associations, and nonprofits looking to make a meaningful impact in the Garden State.
