St Paul Government Relations Lawyer
Overview
When Tom promoted the successful Absolutely Incredible Kid Day for the CampFire organization, he had a goal in mind - let kids know how good they are and how successful they can be. That's the kind of commitment that marks Tom's personal life and the goal-driven enthusiasm he brings to his work. Tom's work with Messerli & Kramer is based on solid relationships, trust, and an uncompromising commitment to the client.
Tom knows the success of his clients demands nothing less. He applies his legal, legislative and political experience in a practical way to continually deliver results. And, whether a client needs assistance navigating the complexities of state or municipal government, or just telling their unique story, Tom's commitment to clients' goals fosters their success.
His work includes representation of clients at the Minnesota legislature and before state and municipal agencies; strategic advice on state and municipal procurements; assistance with administrative rules and general counsel on the political process. Tom has represented many large corporations, government entities, and associations on legislative issues in industries such as education, health care, technology, insurance and finance, transportation, municipal finance, and state bonding.
