Shumaker Advisors is again strengthening its Florida government affairs and public policy practice with the addition of Rick Lindstrom as Principal in the firm’s Tallahassee office.
A lobbyist with more than 20 years of experience in government relations, Lindstrom has advised clients on complex legislative, regulatory, budget, and public policy matters before the Legislature, Cabinet, state agencies, and local governments.
He has represented clients across a variety of industries and policy areas, including environmental matters, criminal justice, aerospace and technology, sports, healthcare and medical cannabis. Throughout his career, Lindstrom has helped develop and advance legislative and budget priorities, helped clients navigate changing regulatory and political environments, managed complex governmental strategies, and built support around significant policy initiatives.
Lindstrom’s extensive experience affords him the unique ability to quickly understand complicated industries and issues and translate clients’ business and organizational objectives into effective government affairs strategies.
“Shumaker Advisors has built a sophisticated platform at the intersection of government, business, law, and public policy, and I am excited to become part of the team,” Lindstrom said.
“The most effective government affairs work begins with understanding a client’s underlying objectives and then developing a strategy that brings together policy expertise, strong relationships, sound judgment, and effective advocacy. I look forward to working with our clients to anticipate change, identify opportunities, solve difficult problems, and achieve meaningful results.”
Added Shumaker Advisors Florida President and CEO Ron Christaldi: “Rick represents exactly the kind of professional we want to continue attracting to Shumaker Advisors. He brings deep substantive experience, longstanding relationships, sound judgment, and an ability to understand complicated issues and develop strategies that advance a client’s objectives.”
Shumaker continues to expand its capabilities across the state and in Washington, D.C., building an increasingly integrated team serving clients at the local, state and federal levels.
Earlier this year, former St. Petersburg Councilman Ed Montanari joined the firm’s St. Petersburg office as Principal; Sean Schrader joined the Tampa office as Director of Operations; and Jodie Moxley-Ramos joined the Washington, D.C. Federal Team as Vice President of Federal Affairs.
The additions collectively strengthen Shumaker Advisors’ ability to help clients navigate governmental, legislative, regulatory and public affairs challenges across multiple jurisdictions.
“Our goal is to build the premier team of exceptional professionals who are trusted by clients and respected by policymakers and government leaders,” Christaldi said. “Rick’s addition further strengthens our ability to bring together government affairs, public policy, public affairs, business insight, and the broader resources of Shumaker to help clients address significant challenges and opportunities throughout Florida and beyond.”
Shumaker employs more than 300 lawyers and advisors in 13 locations across the country. The firm this year helped secure millions in the state budget for clients.
