Case Studies

The Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education (ABATE of PA) hired APA to help them get Senate Bill 155, Lemon Law for Motorcycles, passed. This has been a priority for the group since 1996 when it was first introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature a year after the automobile Lemon Law took effect. Through our efforts focused on finally getting this bill to the desk of the governor, SB 155 was signed into law as Act 151 on November 18, 2024. We helped to secure another victory for ABATE with the passing of House Bill 2177, which allows motorcycles to be safety inspected all year round.

Engaged by a national care provider serving adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, APA helped navigate rapidly changing policy and operational challenges during the COVID-19 crisis. By working closely with the Murphy Administration, APA ensured providers could safely deliver essential services while shaping policies to protect both employees and patients across diverse care settings.

APA also helped secure first-of-its-kind statutory authority in New Jersey for traumatic brain injury (TBI) services, including a formula-based rate structure to ensure appropriate reimbursement for this complex patient group.

Further, APA guided the client through Medicaid managed care complexities, leveraging relationships with government and private payers to resolve delayed approvals and recover millions in outstanding receivables, ensuring uninterrupted care for patients. Additionally, APA helped launch a coalition of providers and advocates focused on TBI services, elevating the client’s profile and advancing policy and funding initiatives for better care access and long-term support.

APA was engaged by a company that acquired a portfolio of natural gas generation facilities across New Jersey. With a need to build its reputation quickly and engage with state regulators and policymakers, the company turned to APA for strategic guidance.

APA provided hands-on support across the energy and environmental policy landscape, including direct engagement with legislators, NJDEP and BPU officials, local governments, and PJM Interconnection. APA also advised on key issues such as RGGI participation, pending legislation, and environmental rulemaking affecting the client’s operations.

Through coalition-building with power sector associations, business organizations, and regional partners, APA positioned the client as a responsible and engaged corporate stakeholder, while helping influence state energy and environmental policy in alignment with the client’s business goals.
