I am incredibly proud of what we have built together, and I look forward to continuing to serve our clients alongside Adam and Laura in my new role.”

“This is an exciting new chapter for Katz Government Affairs. I am honored to take on this role and build on the strong foundation Carol has established,” said Adam Guziejewski. “Carol started this firm in 2003 from scratch and has made it one of Trenton’s most respected and established lobbying firms. Her vision, values and mentorship have shaped Katz Government Affairs’ culture and impact. I am equally excited to work closely with Laura in her new capacity as senior vice president— her professionalism, creativity and commitment to our clients are second to none.”
