Established in 2010, Thorn Run Partners is a leading Washington, DC-based government affairs firm whose members are Capitol Hill veterans with over a century's experience in federal lobbying, government service and policy development. Unique for its bipartisan composition and client-friendly size, Thorn Run was founded by former aide to Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy (MA), Andy Rosenberg, and former aide to Republican Senator Fred Thompson (TN), Chris Lamond. Having spent decades at some of Washington's most prestigious large-scale lobbying and law firms, Rosenberg and Lamond designed Thorn Run Partners to incorporate the professionalism of large firms with the strategy and tactical approaches of an elite, boutique-sized agency.Comprised of sixteen senior-level government relations experts, each with a unique background and expertise, Thorn Run relies on experience, creativity and competence to achieve positive legislative and regulatory outcomes. Our clients benefit from knowing that our firm is composed of senior lobbyists, so they can be assured that every task is being performed by a seasoned hand. Active in both Democratic and Republican political circles, our team understands the legislative process and possesses the relationships necessary to be effective advocates for clients before Congress and the Executive Branch. We believe that in Washington, success is too often left undefined, leaving clients uncertain about their return on investment. By contrast, we place a high premium on setting clear objectives, defining the metrics by which to measure success, and achieving clients' goals. It is these guiding principles, along with our commitment to meeting our clients' expectations, that have quickly made Thorn Run one of Washington's leaders in government relations.
