Addition of Leader in New Jersey Policy, Energy and Transit Contribute to the Firm’s Service Expansion and Rapid Growth  

PRINCETON and BERGEN COUNTY, NJ, September 14, 2023 – Stevens & Lee Public Affairs announced today that former New Jersey Senator Bob Gordon has joined the growing New Jersey public affairs firm led by Skip Cimino.

“I am very pleased to welcome Senator Gordon to the firm,” said Skip Cimino, Senior Managing Director of Stevens & Lee Public Affairs. “Bob brings a stellar reputation for policy expertise and extensive bipartisan relationships and he has extensive experience that spans the private and public sectors. He will be a great asset to the firm as we help our clients address issues at the intersection of government and business.”

A longtime policymaker, experienced public leader and corporate management consultant, Senator Gordon served in the New Jersey Legislature for 14 years, first as an Assemblyman followed by 10 years in the State Senate representing the 38th District (Bergen/Passaic) where he was the Senate Majority Conference Leader. Nominated by Governor Phil Murphy and confirmed by the New Jersey Senate in 2018, Senator Gordon served a five-year term as a Commissioner of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, where he was intimately involved in developing policy regarding key renewable energy that paved the way for the state to become a national leader in offshore wind and other growing energy sectors. He currently serves on the Board of the New Jersey Transit Corporation.

Stevens & Lee Public Affairs launched in early 2021 and has grown to include seven professionals in two New Jersey offices. Stevens & Lee, its affiliated law firm, also has achieved substantial growth in the state. The firm established a Bergen County office in 2020 and has added professionals in both there and in our Princeton office who have significantly grown its litigation, intellectual property, state and local tax, immigration, and estates and trusts capabilities.

Senator Gordon has worked in and with the private sector in a number of industries. He has held strategic positions within large management consulting firms, and has worked closely with Fortune 1000 companies in the health care, manufacturing and real estate sectors.
