[edit] History
The Harbour Group, LLC is a Washington D.C. lobbying firm. It was founded in 2001 by former Clinton Senior Advisor for Policy and Communications Joel Johnson, who left in 2005 to join the Glover Park Group. As of 2006, it is led by co-founder Richard Marcus.
The Harbour Group formerly worked with the Alexander Strategy Group to provide "unparalleled access to Washington decision makers on both sides of the aisle" as a lobbying "powerhouse", according to ASG's website, before ASG was dissolved in late 2005. The Harbour Group was associated with the Washington law firm Swidler Berlin Shereff Friedman LLP, until February 28, 2006, when that firm merged with Bingham McCutchen LLP.
Past clients include Asbestos Study Group, Business Roundtable, Consumer Electronics Association, Major League Baseball Players Association, Pfizer, and US Airways.
