William V. Hilleary
Senior Advisor
William Hilleary joined SNR Denton’s Public
Law and Policy Strategies practice after serving eight years in the
U.S. House of Representatives, where he held seats on the Armed
Services, Budget, Education and the Workforce, Science and Small
Business Committees.
While in Congress he also served six years as
a Deputy Whip for Majority Whips Tom DeLay (R-TX) and Roy Blunt
(R-MO).
William's legislative initiatives drew on his
experience as a textile manufacturing executive and a military
officer, and were reflective of his passion for national security
issues, support for veterans, and education reform.
In 1999, believing the Norwood-Dingell Patient
Bill of Rights to be cost-prohibitive to business, he authored his
own version of the bill which moved the debate in a pro-business
direction.
He also authored a portion of H.R.1, President
Bush's "No Child Left Behind" legislation in 2001.
William specializes in federal government
legislative and administrative public policy matters.
With an exceptional knowledge and
understanding of the federal legislative process and the role
political dynamics play in shaping public policy outcomes, he
provides strategic advice and guidance to a broad spectrum of
clients which directly leads to successful conclusions on issues
stemming from their nexus with the federal government.
He represents corporations, trade associations
and nonprofit organizations, often combining his expertise with
colleagues from throughout SNR Denton’s impressive array of
practice disciplines, in a seamlessly collaborative focus to
provide the most advantageous combination of legal and public
policy expertise to be found in Washington, DC, resulting in
maximum value to the client.
This approach has recently resulted in
successful representations of a healthcare trade association with
an interest in Veterans Administration policy and a private sector
contractor with the Department of Homeland
Security.
