The Raben Group is a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying, consulting, and public affairs firm founded by Robert Raben, former United States Assistant Attorney General under President Bill Clinton. The Raben Group specializes in issues of law and public policy. The firm maintains offices in Washington, D.C., New York City and Los Angeles with more than 40 employees.

Profile

Founded in 2001, the value-based firm drives progressive public policy by providing non-profit, corporate, and government clients with a suite of services including policy development, direct lobbying, coalition-building, grass-tops campaigns, political counsel, and strategic communications. The Raben Group is considered to be one of the most successful progressive lobbying firms in Washington, D.C. Its founder, Robert Raben is known as a bipartisan force for progressive change in Washington after being named a top lobbyist by The Washingtonian, The Hill, and Washington Life Magazine.

The Raben Group has three main practice areas:

  • Diversity and community - The Raben Group is a majority-minority firm made up of multi-lingual, multi-cultural colleagues united not just by a profession, but by a common commitment to equality and justice. They serve as skilled guides for clients navigating the nation's changing demographics.
  • Public policy advocacy - Clients benefit from the staff's years of experience, relationship building and bipartisan collaboration on Capitol Hill and in federal agencies. To help clients develop support for their public policy agendas, The Raben Group has created grassroots outreach programs, built grass-tops campaigns, conducted in-depth analyses of specific public policy sectors, and researched the intricacies of federal decision-making processes.
  • Strategic communications - The Raben Group helps clients clarify their policy objectives and define their message. Their communications professionals have helped their clients get published regularly in national print and online media, appear on TV and radio, and testify before the United States Congress.

The Raben Group’s portfolio covers a wide range of critical areas such as Latino appointments, the death penalty, childhood obesity and immigration reform. As Robert Raben explains: “We do the hard-core social justice issues...and we have a tradition of doing pro-bono work.” Many of the Raben Group’s clients are non-profit organizations that work on issues that affect Latinos, with Robert saying “I was very deliberate about that and very focused on our work reflecting and serving the community. I’m interested in how power is distributed in this country and what we can do to change that. We are a value-driven firm.”
