Arnold & Porter Legislative & Public Policy practice group chair Kevin O'Neill and associate Marne Marotta were recognized by the National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics for their outstanding legislative work in the group's 2021 "Top Lobbyists" list. The National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics is the trade association for the lobbying and government affairs profession.
The list, which is in its second year, recognizes lobbyists, PAC managers and grassroots professionals who "saw significant legislative success, have been innovative in their field, are held in high regard by their clients or members, and are individuals who give back to their community through charity or pro bono work."
O'Neill, who was also named to the list last year, helps clients understand and navigate federal legislative and executive complexities in order to further their business objectives. His clients span several sectors of the economy including trade, technology, tax and financial services, federal funding healthcare, education, transportation, and local government.
Marotta, a next generation lobbyist, works with clients facing complex challenges to develop and implement dynamic government relations strategies. Drawing from her experience in the Senate and the executive branch, Marotta provides clients with strategic guidance and counseling, devises and implements comprehensive advocacy campaigns, and builds coalitions with allied stakeholders.
