New U.S. Administration and Congress

The election of a new U.S. administration and expanded Democratic majorities in Congress, coupled with an unprecedented global financial crisis, promises significant policy changes in the coming weeks and months that will cut across a range of issue areas, from tax, to energy and the environment, to health care, to financial system regulation, to labor-management relations.  For stakeholders, these changes bring both opportunities and challenges.   McDermott Will & Emery, with a team of legal and legislative professionals who have strong relationships with key members of the incoming Obama administration, as well as members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, is positioned to help you effectively navigate these changes.
