The Stopher Group

Practice

Government relations, public affairs, and the work that goes with them

The Stopher Group works the policy and the process: briefing principals, tracking live vehicles, and carrying a position through legislatures and agencies. Lobbying is part of that work. So are advocacy and public-affairs counsel.

Credit-card & consumer finance policy

Counsel on credit-card pricing, consumer-finance rules, and the legislative vehicles that set them—at the federal level and in the states.

Consumer advocacy

Public-affairs and advocacy work for individuals and groups who need a clear voice in policy fights that affect household credit, markets, and fair dealing.

Automotive industry advocacy

Representation and advocacy for automotive-industry interests before legislators, agencies, and the public.

Self-representation & court access

Advancing the ability of individuals to appear pro se—to represent themselves in court without an attorney—and making it practical to appear on their own behalf, including by remote appearance.

AI & emerging technology policy

Government relations on artificial intelligence, agents, standards, and the competing federal and state proposals that will govern new technology.

Data-center & energy infrastructure

Siting, power, water, and ratepayer issues for data-center and energy infrastructure across Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Kentucky.

Community solutions

Practical answers to local problems. When a data center or other major project comes to town, the people who live nearby should see the benefit. We help projects earn their place in the community by finding real ways to support their neighbors, and we stay with it until the community sees results.

State & federal government relations

Lobbying, advocacy, and public affairs before statehouses and in Washington—tracking live vehicles, briefing principals, and carrying a position through the process.
