Bracewell Partner Dee Martin Named by PRWeek to 2017 Champions of PR List

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Bracewell LLP, a leading law and government relations firm, is pleased to announce that Partner Dee Martin has been named to the 2017 Champions of PR list by Haymarket Media Group’s PRWeek. The list is comprised of 40 women who “come to the table with new, innovative ways of doing business and are helping define their companies as sought-after employers of the future. They are mentors for women on their teams, creating a solid foundation of leaders for years to come.”

“I am honored and thankful to receive this award from PRWeek,” said Martin on making the list. “This extraordinary group of women represents the gold standard in the industry. I am truly humbled to be selected and hope to serve as an example for future generations of women.”

Martin is a founder and co-head of the Policy Resolution Group (PRG), the government relations and strategic communications practice of Bracewell. PRG helps clients navigate the complex federal landscape, providing integrated advice that coordinates the political, legal and public affairs components necessary for success in the nation’s capital. Martin assists clients in responding to agency inquiries, guides them through Congressional investigations, provides policy-based support for organizations facing high-profile litigation, and testifies on her clients’ behalf before Congress and government agencies. She regularly advocates and negotiates with the U.S. Congress, along with departments and agencies of the Executive Branch.

Most recently, Martin was honored for helping young women who had been abducted by terrorists abroad and escaped from their captors make it to the U.S. safely and legally. On November 12, 2016, Unlikely Heroes presented Martin at the Recognizing Heroes Awards Dinner & Gala with their “Hero Award,” which honors those who have devoted tireless time and work in advancing global human rights and a lifetime of public service.

PRWeek also recognized Martin in its Champions of PR editorial for her work inspiring women through the Minute Mentoring® program, which was named the best community relations program at the 2011 Legal PR Awards, presented by PR News.
