Bloomberg Government (BGOV) has released its highly anticipated analysis of the top-performing lobbying firms of 2022, providing valuable insights into the lobbying landscape. The comprehensive report, based on BGOV’s proprietary analysis of the Lobbying Disclosure Act’s reporting, focuses on the 363 firms that reported $1 million or more in revenue and maintained consistent lobbying activity throughout the year. With lobbying spend reaching an all-time high of $4.04 billion, 2022 was a record-breaking year for the industry.
The surge in lobbying spending can be attributed to various factors, including legislation addressing climate change, inflation, and investments in sectors such as highways and semiconductor manufacturing. The report highlights the steady increase in lobbying spend since 2016 when it hit a low of $2.13 billion, indicating the growing significance of lobbying efforts in shaping policy and legislation.
Notably, lobbying firms of all sizes reported revenue gains in 2022, indicating a robust industry. The top-ranked firm, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, saw impressive growth, expanding its business by over $4 million. Brownstein retained its position as one of the leading lobbying shops alongside Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Holland & Knight. The remaining firms in the top 10 included BGR Government Affairs, Invariant, Cornerstone Government Affairs, Thorn Run Partners, Squire Patton Boggs US, Capitol Counsel, and Forbes Tate.
