KP Public Affairs has acquired Doherty Law Group, a top California lobbying shop.
John Doherty, former CEO for the Civil Justice Assn. of California, and chief of staff for the state’s Assembly Majority Leader Alberto Torrico, will join Public Policy Holding Company's KP unit in Sacramento.
Michael Burns, managing partner of KP, said the addition of Doherty continues his firm’s commitment to “provide the highest-level policy and political services to our clients.”
