TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (July, 15, 2025) — Arrow Group is proud to have been recognized as Florida’s Best New Lobbying Firm of the Year by INFLUENCE Magazine. This honor is a testament to the immediate impact of Arrow Group’s visionary mission to rewrite the trajectory of government affairs consulting in Florida.
Launched in January 2025, Arrow Group is the result of a strategic partnership between the former Anfield Consulting team and Gunster, Florida’s full-service law firm for business. Arrow Group is redefining government affairs consulting in Florida through a results-driven, client-first approach. With deep roots in public service and a collaborative culture, the firm delivers tailored strategies that drive impact across regulated industries.
While the “new” moniker fits, Arrow Group is built on a foundation of decades of experience and connections across the state. President Albert Balido is at the helm, taking charge of Arrow Group’s direction by drawing on over 30 years of experience in Florida’s legislative and regulatory arenas.
“I like the challenge of ‘It can’t be done.’ That’s highly motivating for me,” said Albert Balido, President of Arrow Group. “Creativity is our number one asset. There’s always a creative solution to show movement for the client or show resolutions for their issues.”
At Balido’s side are former state legislator Ron Brisé and Rosanna Catalano, who touts varied experience across fields including education, communications, and government affairs. The team also includes seasoned experts such as Trey Price, Alexandria Kernan, and Kim Shugar, whose backgrounds span housing, environmental policy, and legislative affairs.
Arrow Group finds clients solutions by drawing upon decades of connections, unparalleled subject matter expertise, and a strong creative problem-solving culture.
