Roy & Leroy Government Relations Welcomes Joy Avallone as Senior Lobbyist
West Hartford, CT - Roy & Leroy Government Relations LLC today announced that Joy Avallone has joined the firm as a Senior Lobbyist.
Immediately prior to joining Roy & Leroy, Joy was the General Counsel for the Insurance Association of Connecticut, where she served as one of the chief lobbyists for Connecticut’s insurance and financial services industry. Joy is also a former Assistant Attorney General for the State of Connecticut. As an Assistant Attorney General, Joy provided high level legal counsel to Connecticut state agencies.
“Joy has become one of the most respected voices at the state Capitol on a wide range of business issues,” said Craig Leroy, a partner and one of the founders of Roy & Leroy. “I expect her to make an immediate and positive impact as part of our team.”
Roy & Leroy is regularly recognized as one of the top government relations firms in Connecticut, representing both nonprofit and business clients before all levels of state and local government.
The firm has experienced significant growth in the past few years, with new clients in the telecommunications, internet technology, commercial solar, and cannabis industries. Roy & Leroy has also increased its focus on municipal development and public-private partnership (P3) projects, having just recently represented the longtime operator of Tweed New Haven Airport in a landmark deal to develop the airport.
In 2020, Dallas Dodge was named Managing Partner of Roy & Leroy.
“We pride ourselves on providing individualized attention to a select group of clients with complex issues. Adding Joy to our team will help us maintain that commitment to excellence,” said Dodge.
