Established in 2015, The Batchelder Company is built on decades of firsthand experience in Ohio’s state government process and deep expertise across the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. As the only Ohio lobbying firm led by two former Chiefs of Staff—the top staff position in the legislature—we offer clients unmatched insight into how policy is shaped, negotiated, and passed.

Our top priority is not only accomplishing our clients’ objectives, but doing so with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. We believe the best strategies are those that deliver results while also protecting and strengthening the reputation of the clients we serve.

Our firm was founded on the values and principles of former Ohio House Speaker William G. Batchelder III, whose distinguished public service career spanned 38 years and ranks as the second-longest legislative tenure in Ohio history. That legacy continues to guide our work today
