F/S Capitol Consulting provides its clients with focused legislative strategies to shape results and achieve the client's objectives. We execute these strategies by maintaining a daily presence in the Rhode Island State House. This State House presence enables us to continue and enhance our close relationships with legislators, key staff and leadership in the General Assembly and key staff in the Executive Branch.

Our approach is simple - we emphasize preparation, reputation and presentation. Working closely with our client, our preparation includes thorough research of the issues and legislation. Our preparation also encompasses a complete assessment of the key legislators and decision makers, and the opposition, to fashion a result-driven strategy. In all that we do, F/S Capitol Consulting fiercely protects its reputation and that of its client. The Rhode Island General Assembly is a part-time legislature. Therefore, in advocating on behalf of our clients, we have an opportunity to add critical information to the legislative process to achieve our desired outcome. Our reputation as a well-prepared, reliable and trustworthy source of information enhances our ability to achieve results for our client. Our role as advocates requires us to shape and tailor our message for individual members, committees, caucuses and the entire House and Senate. Our presentations are efficient, effective and persuasive. While we utilize technology where appropriate, our presentations are individually designed to achieve results with each and every key legislator.

The principals of F/S Capitol Consulting represent or have represented several national and local corporations and trade associations during the past fifteen years. Many of our clients maintain active government relations operations in most states and several countries.

These relationships assist us in developing, coordinating and executing successful legislative strategies to protect our client's interests in Rhode Island.
