The role that government plays in every day business decisions may appear to have decreased, but in fact, very few companies can stay in business without dealing with at least one state agency. It is often less costly to deal with government before you have a problem.

DeFeo Associates can provide you with assistance before regulatory and legislative bodies. Our team includes:

Wayne DeFeo, Principal and founder of
DeFeo Associates:

Wayne's over 20 years of experience in the area of government relations has allowed him to develop the skills and contacts necessary for dealing with the most critical of issues. He has successfully negotiated with County Government, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, NJ Attorney General's Office and the NJ Board of Public Utilities on issues ranging from solid waste licensing to environmental and regulatory changes covering many areas of environmental concern.

In addition, Wayne has extensive experience working with the legislative process. He has successfully guided deregulation, penalty reform and regulatory reform legislation from inception to signing.

Wayne served on Governor Whitman's Transition Team studying the BPU. He has served on the Solid Waste Collectors Deregulation Committee with the DEP Commissioner. He served as Vice Chairman on the Interstate Environmental Commission from 1998-2002 and as a Commissioner from 1996-2002.

Frank Brill, Principal and founder of Brill Public Affairs:

Frank has over 20 years of experience representing the interests of companies and trade associations before the State Legislature and with various regulatory agencies.

He has secured many important legislative, regulatory and public relations victories for Fortune 500 companies, local businesses and trade associations.

His clients come from a wide variety of fields, including industrial metals and battery recycling, solid waste management, superfund site remediation, the plumbing and HVAC industry, spa and pool installers, and New Jersey's farming community. All of Frank's clients are provided with superior service regardless of their size.

In addition to his lobbying activities, Frank is the publisher of EnviroPolitics, a daily electronic newsletter that reports the top political and environmental news from leading newspapers and other sources in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. In its four years of publication, Enviropolitics has become 'must reading' for hundreds of government officials, attorneys, engineers, consultants, trade association executives and others who are affected by environmental issues and the politics that drive them.
