Dawson & Associates Technical Services (DATS), a wholly separate division of D&A, offers an extensive range of technical and analytical services over and above traditional government relations/issues advocacy. These include,

• Pre-application consultations on regulatory permit applications
• Mitigation alternatives analyses
• Consultations on prospective water resource projects
• Empirical investigations and economic analyses
• Administrative and contract appeals
• Consultations involving proprietary information

D&A understands the sensitivity associated with these services and in order to ensure appropriate confidentiality, all such work is conducted completely separate and apart from government relations work, including separate document handling procedures, physical separation of electronic and paper files, autonomous records management procedures and independent transcription processes.

The extensive range of technical and analytical services offered by DATS in the environmental and natural resources areas makes D&A unique among Washington, D. C. governmental relations firms.
