Cohen & Grigsby Launches Federal Lobbying Practice with Hire of Lobbyist, Aaron Grau

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Grigsby, a business law firm in Pittsburgh, PA and an office in Naples, FL, is pleased to announce the launch of its Federal Lobbying Practice with the hiring of federal lobbyist, Aaron Grau.  With the launch, the Public Affairs group will service clients with issues beyond local and state to those with a more national focus, including clients of the firm's Naples office.  Grau will work on a wide range of federal issues with a key emphasis on funding, contracts, policy and association management.  

Grau reestablished Grau & Associates, LLC in Pittsburgh after first starting the firm more than ten years ago in Alexandria, Virginia.  Before creating his own Pittsburgh-based company, Mr. Grau directed Pittsburgh's Duane Morris Government Strategies' federal government affairs practice from its creation, a merger between GSP Consulting and Duane Morris Government Affairs in January 2012.  Before the merger, as a GSP shareholder, Grau oversaw GSP's federal practice for nine years.  During that time he managed and grew GSP's (and later Duane Morris Government Strategies') federal government affairs practice.

Grau has a BA from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and a Juris Doctorate from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia.  He is licensed to practice law in Florida, Georgia, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Courts and has been honored by the State of Ohio for his legislative work on behalf of people with disabilities.

Cohen & Grigsby Public Affairs is a bipartisan public affairs group providing government relations and lobbying services.  The team consists of lobbyists who have years of experience working with both the legislative and administrative process of government in Pennsylvania. They have served at various levels of local and state government from both sides of the political spectrum.  The group of professionals operates collaboratively to address each client's issues.  

President and CEO Jack Elliott stated, "Cohen & Grigsby Public Affairs federal lobbying practice and the addition of Aaron Grau will complement our current team of professionals and further assist in the development and implementation of our clients' government relations strategies. Taken together, the group's extensive backgrounds will bring considerable resources to bear for our clients in the Pittsburgh region and in Southwest Florida."
