Our Strategic Approach to Lobbying & Public Affairs in Utah

At Morgan & May, we help clients navigate Utah’s legislative, regulatory, and public opinion landscapes with focus, agility, and senior-level expertise.

We’re a boutique lobbying and public affairs firm built on the belief that policy and messaging are strongest when they work together. Our firm supports both Utah-based organizations and national firms seeking experienced, on-the-ground representation in Salt Lake City.

We offer tiered lobbying retainers, session-only advocacy packages, and targeted communications campaigns—each tailored to the client and the moment. Our work spans government relations, coalition building, stakeholder engagement, and public relations strategy for high-stakes issues.

Whether you’re advancing legislation, opposing a bill, managing media, or navigating reputational risk, we deliver disciplined strategy and hands-on execution. When you work with Morgan & May, a partner is always at the table—guiding strategy, managing delivery, and investing personally in your success.
