The Southern Group, founded twenty years ago, pioneered the lobbying industry in Florida and beyond. The firm was the first to offer a distinctive model of advocacy driven by aligning top talent from business, government, and politics, and by establishing a network of offices that provide clients with unparalleled access to local and state government.
Over the past two decades, The Southern Group has cultivated and retained a strong team of experts who build winning strategies, navigate pathways to power, and connect clients with key decision-makers across government and business. The firm’s professionals understand how to navigate the halls of government because many have already served within them.
