Jones Walker LLP is pleased to welcome Marybeth Nassif as a director in the Government Relations Practice Group in the Washington, DC, office.

“We are thrilled to welcome Marybeth to our roster of experienced government relations professionals,” said Chris Johnsen, partner and head of the DC office. “Her vast knowledge of the intricate federal budget and appropriations process, as well as her proven track record in building strategic alliances and fostering collaboration, will provide immense value to our clients. We are excited to see the positive impact she will make.”

Marybeth brings more than 20 years of appropriations and legislative experience to her work with clients facing rapidly evolving federal funding and policy landscapes. For a decade, she served as a professional staffer for the US House Committee on Appropriations, where she managed member requests, mark-ups, amendments, continuing resolutions, and floor actions for the Financial Services and General Government bill and other legislation, including more than 24 annual appropriations bills, continuing resolutions, and emergency funding measures.

“I am excited to join such a highly respected team and am eager to contribute to the continued success of our clients,” said Marybeth. “I look forward to applying my Hill and Executive Office experience to deliver strategic insights and impactful results that will drive our initiatives forward.”

During her time on Capitol Hill, Marybeth oversaw $24 billion in annual appropriations covering the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, the Office of Personnel Management, the Small Business Administration, the US Postal Service, and more than a dozen independent government agencies as well as the federal judiciary. Prior to joining Jones Walker, she also worked as a budget/financial analyst for the US courts, managing a $1.5 billion portfolio covering personnel, leases, IT, and operations for national court programs.

In addition to her extensive background as a private- and public-sector budget and financial analyst, Marybeth combines deep knowledge of legislative negotiation and decision-making processes with a finely tuned ability to help clients focus on strategies and initiatives most vital to their interests. Throughout her career, she has championed increased funding for innovation and results-focused initiatives while maintaining a commitment to fiscal accountability.
