BGR’s Financial Services Practice works at the intersection of Wall Street and our nation’s capital. BGR’s seasoned team of dedicated professionals are committed to advocating for our financial services and tax clients’ interests and ensuring their voice is heard across the Legislative Branch, the Administration, and the independent regulatory agencies. BGR Group is the premier destination for comprehensive financial regulatory coverage and those seeking to contribute to and shape public policy in the industry. BGR works tirelessly on behalf of large and regional banks, asset managers, private funds, pension plans, insurance companies and brokerages, service providers, and accounting firms to deliver their policy priorities and build good working relationships with lawmakers. With active financial regulatory agencies and several forward-looking tax priorities such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), BGR takes pride in working to ensure our clients have a seat at the table.

As a bipartisan practice focused on our financial services and tax clients’ issues, our team recognizes that both legislation and regulations can effectively pick winners and losers in the marketplace. Our lobbyists possess expertise in insurance, securities, derivatives, banking, housing, finance, and consumer credit, all gained from extensive prior work on Capitol Hill, within regulatory agencies, and across the Executive Branch. The team possesses a wealth of experience working with the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, the House Financial Services Committee, and the House Ways & Means Committee, allowing us to keep our finger on the pulse of all developments happening inside. The team also maintains key relationships within the Treasury Department, regulatory agencies, and the housing agencies.
