Welcome to The Hill’s annual list of top lobbyists. 

The lobbyists on this list are some of the best in the business and have been go-to advocates during a year defined by unprecedented political events, legislative logjams, federal spending cut crusades and big rulemaking swings by the outgoing Biden administration.

But Washington and K Street are heading for a massive shake-up. 

With President-elect Trump poised to return to the White House four years after being declared a political pariah, it may not be so easy for those who shunned him to build inroads with the incoming administration.

Amid simmering uncertainty over the president’s proposed policies including tariffs and tax reform, however, there will be no shortage of clients eager to hire top lobbyists who can help them navigate the nation’s changing Capitol.

We can’t wait to see who rises to the occasion.
