Jamie Wickett is well-known by clients and policymakers as one of Washington's leading advocates for corporations, nonprofits, coalitions, and trade associations seeking government policy change – or seeking to prevent change. His practice focuses on federal tax policy as well as energy, environmental, financial services, pension, and technology issues, in both legislative and regulatory matters.

With more than 25 years of experience, on Capitol Hill at a major business trade association and in private practice, Jamie is well-practiced in drafting technical legislative or regulatory proposals. He combines this skill with the ability to develop and implement advocacy strategies to achieve client objectives in the political arena. One particular area of focus for Jamie has been the advocacy of legislative and regulatory solutions in areas where government policy has failed to keep up with advancing technologies, such as alternative energy technologies, advanced vehicles, or financial practices.

Jamie is also a founding member of the firm's Political Law Compliance Practice Group, where he helps clients comply with federal election laws, the Lobbying Disclosure Act, and congressional ethics rules.
