Jamie Conrad has practiced law in Washington D.C. for 22 years, helping organizations accomplish their goals in the federal regulatory process. With 14 years of experience at the American Chemistry Council and 8 years at major national law firms, Conrad has a broad and sophisticated perspective on how to achieve results and defend interests in that environment. Conrad is an expert in the fields of homeland security; environment, health & safety; and science policy/information quality, but he has also worked across a wide range of other administrative law subjects. This work has included:
Conrad has a long track record helping private entities engage with government agencies in innovative projects that offer mutual benefits. He understands how to balance assertiveness and tact and how to craft solutions that meet both parties' needs. He is also skilled at bridge-building with NGOs and other third parties to build on common interests. Conrad has extensive legislative experience, working with Congressional staff to educate them, guide oversight, and negotiate legislative language and legislative history, in both the authorizing and appropriations context. His successful approach is to be a nonpartisan, reliable source of authoritative expertise to members and staff. Conrad is particularly skilled at translating highly complex and technical subjects into clear and even engaging presentations. This enables him not only to explain his clients' situations and critical needs to government officials, but also to help clients understand the arcane and user-unfriendly regulatory programs that confront them. From understanding comes opportunity. Conrad's value proposition is to offer top-quality legal skills and personal attention to clients' matters in a way that large law firms increasingly cannot -- in effect, providing partner-level services at associate rates. Where appropriate, he can draw on the services of other lawyers – senior and more junior – as affiliates. From his years managing outside counsel and conducting most of his own legal work at ACC, he is highly efficient and cost conscious. He also understands communications and the importance of external relations in advocacy efforts.  Get a site like this one! |

CVI? SSI? PCII? - %&$#! I'm chairing a panel on information protection at the Chemical Security Summit on July 22. Here's how to register I've just published an article on current chemical security legislative developments. My article starts on page 5 of this file I've coauthored an article in Environmental Health Perspectives on science and conflicts of interest in the regulatory process. Here's the link to the article Alert Memo on DHS Chemical Facility Security Rules On November 20, DHS published its "Appendix A" final rule in the Federal Register. Here's an alert memo about the new DHS rules, prepared on behalf of the American Chemistry Council and posted with their permission. CFATS memo |
