Who We Are

CMW Strategies is New York’s leading government relations and strategy firm, trusted by global and regional companies, leading nonprofits, innovative start-ups, influential trade associations and world-renowned cultural institutions for more than three decades.

Headquartered in the historic Woolworth Building just across from City Hall, CMW Strategies has been consistently ranked as a “top-ten” New York City lobbying firm since 2016 and more recently a “top-twenty” New York State lobbying firm. Our firm and principals are featured regularly on City and State’s ranked “power lists,” including the New York City Power 100, the Manhattan Power 100 List, the Albany Power 100 and the Arts and Culture Power 100, among other specialized lists.
 
CMW Strategies operates differently. Anchored by principals with decades of experience working in and around government, our team of subject matter experts and seasoned professionals work collaboratively to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction. Our hands-on approach, integrity, steady influence in a changing political landscape and commitment to success set us apart in a crowded field where too often, simply opening a door is considered service. We’re not just door-openers. We ensure that our clients are better prepared, better represented and better equipped for success than any of the competition.
