Experience Matters ...
Tim Doyle has spent over two decades working with the business community, congressional leaders, multiple administrations, trade associations, and non-profits, at both the state and federal level.
Most Washington problems are not one thing. A regulatory question turns political, a political question ends up in court, and a legal question is settled by whoever understood all three first. That is the work: evaluating politics, policy, and law together, and then helping clients act on the answer.
Alongside that work, Tim is co-founder and president of the Responsible Business Initiative (RBI), a bipartisan 501(c)(3) that researches the rules governing capital markets and the regulatory environment American companies operate in. RBI is a separate organization. Its work is research rather than advocacy, and it takes no client positions.

Congress drives outcomes through legislation, oversight, and appropriations, and through pressure on the agencies that write the rules. Recognizing how policy and political discussions drive congressional action is key to understanding the direction of Washington.

The Administration has enormous influence over the parameters of policy that Congress enacts and the implementation of federal regulatory policy. Comprehending the extent to which the White House can influence policy discussions is incredibly important.

Courts now decide much of what agencies can do. A rule that survives comment can still fail on review, so the question is not only what a rule says but whether it will hold long enough to give companies the consistency they need to plan.

Most of what binds a company is written by an agency, not passed by Congress. The proposal stage is where the outcome is decided, and the comment file is where the record for review is built.
