Crestwood Strategies Scales DC Operations with Kelly Fair Hire

Founder David Culver is positioning the firm to navigate markets that lack established federal regulatory frameworks. The strategy relies on a curated network of alliance partners, including Capitol Counsel for federal lobbying, Javelin for national communications and crisis management, and Morland Clarke for international political strategy and cross-border advisory. By integrating legal expertise with political and media outreach, the firm aims to differentiate itself from traditional Washington lobbying shops.

Fair brings over two decades of experience, including her previous work leading cannabis and healthcare practices at Dentons US LP. Her tenure at the firm will focus on corporate strategy, compliance, and M&A within complex sectors. The partnership formalizes a seven-year professional relationship between Culver and Fair, centered on delivering policy outcomes for clients operating at the intersection of business and evolving federal law.
