As legislative counsel, Brad Epperly’s practice operates a bit differently from that of most of his colleagues. Brad represents clients, predominantly trade associations, before the Iowa legislature, governor, and regulatory agencies, performing lobbyist functions at the state capitol.
He monitors, proposes, advocates, drafts, and sometimes opposes legislation. His work involves a broad spectrum of public policy issues, including certain industries, licensed professionals, economic development, labor and employment, workers’ compensation, and utilities.
Brad has developed relationships with legislators, regulators, representatives from the governor’s office, and other lobbyists. He conducts himself with the highest ethical and professional standards, effectively engaging stakeholders and building allies in his pursuits to get legislators to support or not support issues. Clients appreciate Brad’s attention to detail, his honesty, and straightforward approach.
Brad has been active in industry and community associations, including serving on the boards of the local chapter of the Federal Bar Association and a West Des Moines youth baseball league. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Iowa Innovation Corporation.
