Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck welcomes Samantha Corbin to the firm as senior policy advisor in the Sacramento office. Corbin will join the State Government Relations team in California.
“Samantha is a well-respected public policy advocate with two decades of experience shaping and influencing policy in California and nationally. Her work with organizations and coalitions on strategic development, community organizing, procurement, government affairs and public relations make her a great addition to our team in Sacramento,” said Doug Friednash, chair of Brownstein’s State Government Relations team.
Corbin’s extensive knowledge of state and federal processes, coupled with strong relationships with for-profit and philanthropic organizations ensure clients are well positioned for success. Her expertise spans an array of sectors including technology, artificial intelligence, mental health, education and workforce programs. However, she is most well known for her work as a top policy advisor in consumer privacy given her instrumental role in negotiating every major privacy-related bill in California over the past decade. She also played a critical role in legislative adjustments in the California Consumer Privacy Act to ensure key industries maintain essential customer information functions. Corbin also secured over $11 billion in funding for various client-driven programs, projects and initiatives. Her innovative contributions to educational and workforce development are evidenced by her leadership role in developing California’s education to workforce data platform.
In addition to her policy advocacy, Corbin has launched multiple seven-figure businesses, including the Responder Health program. She is a founder of We Said Enough, an initiative focused on workplace sexual harassment, abuse and bullying that has led to significant legislative change across the United States. Most recently, she was a founder of Corbin and Kaiser, a government affairs firm serving a diverse clientele.
