Cornerstone approaches the business of public affairs differently than others in our industry.

We built our business on the foundation of team-oriented, comprehensive, and personal service provided by senior professionals. Cornerstone operates as a complete team—when a client hires us, they engage all the resources of our entire firm, rather than a single individual. The benefit of this team approach is the ability to bring together a number of highly qualified professionals for the collective experience, background, and relationships to plot and execute a strategy for success.

We work in a collaborative and bipartisan way to address a client’s specific needs and are proud of our high ethical standards, reputation, and track record of success. We value our reputation and that of our clients, and place a premium on honesty, integrity, and long-term relationships. Our clients are our partners. We strive to be both trusted advisors and effective advocates. We believe in hard work, a disciplined process, consistent communication, accountability, and success.

Cornerstone Government Affairs is a full-service, bipartisan, employee-owned firm specializing in government relations and lobbying, public affairs, strategic communications, and advisory services. The firm was founded by a group of professionals with a shared philosophy, a unique business model and a different approach to the business.

Cornerstone operates as a complete team. We work in a collaborative way to address each client’s issues and view ourselves not as hired guns, but rather trusted advisors. We are proud of our high ethical standards and team-oriented culture that provides clients the full depth and breadth of our expertise, experience and relationships.

Complementing our Washington staff, Cornerstone has developed a prominent state-level presence across the country through our 11 state-focused offices in Annapolis, MD; Atlanta, GA; Augusta, ME; Austin & Houston, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; Chicago & Springfield, IL; Denver; CO; Des Moines, IA; Frankfort, KY; Jackson, MS; and Oklahoma City, OK.

Our mission is to provide strategic counsel and creative solutions for our clients. Serving as trusted advisors, we work to produce measurable results that positively impact our clients’ business. We are guided by the responsibility to our system of government, the public and the media, which guarantees us the freedom to practice our profession.
