Cassidy & Assoc
Cassidy & Associates is a government-relations firm based in Washington, D.C., known for pioneering the use of congressional earmarks as a method of obtaining grants for university clients. It was founded in 1975 as Schlossberg-Cassidy Associates by Gerald Cassidy and Kenneth Schlossberg, both former aides to Sen. George McGovern. Cassidy today remains CEO of the firm, both of which were profiled in a 2007 series in the Washington Post. Other principal officers include vice chairmen Marty Russo and Gregg Hartley. The European branch spun off to form EU lobbying law firm Alber & Geiger beginning in 2007, named for former Cassidy CEO Andreas Geiger and the former Advocate General of the European Court of Justice, Siegbert Alber. In 2010 Cassidy's Moscow CEO left the company as well.
