Brock Landry is Chairman of the Firm’s Government Division that includes over 150<br />
lawyers in the legislative, regulatory, government contracts and local government<br />
practice areas. His own practice focuses on “trade association law,” which, for Mr.<br />
Landry, has a far reach. This broad area of law includes internal governance, non-profit<br />
taxation, antitrust, regulatory issues (environmental, health, and safety), international<br />
trade, standards development, litigation, legislative and general corporate matters.<br />
Mr. Landry's clients include: America’s Community Bankers; Composite Panel<br />
Association; Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association; Metal Building Manufacturers<br />
Association; Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association; Managed Funds Association;<br />
Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy; American <strong>For</strong>est & Paper Association; Bicycle<br />
Products Suppliers Association; American Iron & Steel Institute; Adhesive & Sealants<br />
Council; Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of North America; United Way of the<br />
National Capitol Area and National Electrical Manufacturers Association; among others.<br />
Mr. Landry has worked with a variety of industry groups in avoiding onerous and<br />
unreasonable regulation. He was instrumental in devising and carrying out a strategy for<br />
the banking industry to alter capital proposals of the Federal Housing Finance Board that<br />
could have crippled the Federal Home Loan Bank system. <strong>For</strong> over thirty years, he has<br />
represented the wood products, furniture and cabinet industries in the regulation of<br />
formaldehyde emissions from their products in proceedings at OSHA, EPA, CPSC,<br />
HUD, OMB and various state agencies. Most recently, he served as counsel to the<br />
California Wood Industries Coalition in achieving reasonable formaldehyde regulations<br />
from the California Air Resources Board. He has successfully defended a range of<br />
industry associations in product-related conspiracy litigation. In Sizemore v. Georgia-<br />
Pacific, his client won summary judgment in one of the most extensive and favorable<br />
opinions describing the bases of associational liability and appropriate defenses. In the<br />
area of corporate governance, he was retained by the United Way of the National Capitol<br />
Area to assist in the rejuvenation of that charity after much publicized leadership<br />
improprieties.<br />
Mr. Landry brings to his work a full understanding of how industry coalitions and trade<br />
associations work to solve common problems and an approach to disputes which focuses<br />
first and foremost on effective negotiation and favorable resolution. His range of legal<br />
