Big Tech
The technology industry's relationship with Congress has fundamentally shifted. Antitrust scrutiny, platform liability, data privacy, and content moderation are no longer theoretical threats — they are active legislative battles. Skyline Capitol helps technology companies engage from a position of credibility, not crisis.

Platform Competition & Market Structure
Congressional scrutiny of platform dominance, self-preferencing, and merger activity has intensified across both parties. We help clients navigate the enforcement environment and shape how competition frameworks are written.
Section 230 & Platform Responsibility
The debate over internet liability protections continues to evolve, with proposals ranging from targeted carve-outs to wholesale reform. Our team has been in these conversations since the issue first gained traction.
Federal Data Privacy Legislation
A federal privacy standard remains one of the most actively contested tech policy questions — balancing consumer protection, state preemption, and business compliance costs in ways that will reshape the entire industry.
Content Moderation & Free Expression
Few issues generate more political heat with less legislative clarity. We help clients develop coherent, defensible positions that hold up across the political spectrum — and in front of congressional committees.
Foreign Adversary Technology Restrictions
Restrictions on technology with connections to foreign adversaries — from app stores to semiconductor supply chains — represent a growing and bipartisan area of congressional action that directly affects global technology companies.
Cloud, AI & Critical Digital Infrastructure
As digital infrastructure becomes national security infrastructure, cloud providers, hyperscalers, and AI platform companies face an evolving set of security mandates, procurement rules, and regulatory expectations.
"The technology companies that will fare best in Washington aren't the ones that respond to investigations — they're the ones that built relationships long before a subpoena arrived."
Most technology companies discover Washington at the worst possible moment — when they're already in the crosshairs of a committee investigation, a DOJ inquiry, or a legislative push they didn't see coming. Skyline Capitol works with technology clients to build the institutional relationships, policy credibility, and legislative engagement that makes proactive outcomes possible. We've seen how these battles end when companies are reactive. We know how to make them end differently.
What We Do
We help technology companies build and execute government affairs strategies that engage Congress, the executive branch, and state legislatures — before legislation becomes a crisis, and during one if needed.
- Congressional relationship development and sustained member education on technology issues
- Antitrust and competition policy strategy — DOJ, FTC, and congressional oversight engagement
- Section 230, privacy, and platform liability legislative monitoring and engagement
- Committee testimony preparation and crisis communications strategy
- National security technology policy — foreign adversary restrictions, export controls, CFIUS
- State-level technology regulation monitoring and multi-state engagement coordination
- Industry coalition building and third-party validator engagement for technology policy debates
Our Approach
Big Tech is not a monolith — and neither is Congress's reaction to it. We help clients develop nuanced, company-specific strategies that navigate a political environment where yesterday's ally can be tomorrow's committee chair asking hard questions.
01
Relationship Before Crisis
The most valuable government affairs work happens years before a company needs it. We build genuine, sustained relationships with members and staff — not transactional check-in calls — so that when the moment arrives, our clients have earned accounts they can draw on, not introductions to make.
02
Bipartisan by Design
Big Tech scrutiny is one of the few issues with genuine bipartisan energy — and the criticisms from the left and right are often completely different. We help clients understand and navigate both currents simultaneously, building credibility with members who have fundamentally different concerns about the same company.
03
Intelligence Committee Perspective
Technology and national security are inseparable in today's policy environment. Our president's service on the House Intelligence Committee gives us a dimension most technology lobbying firms simply don't have — an understanding of how the technology questions Congress asks in public connect to the conversations happening behind closed doors.
