Nelson Mullins picks up Pattons Sri Lanka contract : NELSON MULLINS PICKS UP PATTON’S SRI LANKA CONTRACT: The firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough has picked up a new sovereign government as a client. The firm will represent the government and embassy of Sri Lanka on a $35,000 per month contract that was once held by the firm Patton Boggs. It’s part of a major hiring spree by Sri Lanka in terms of beefing up the firm’s D.C. presence. The country recently brought on the PR firm Burson-Marsteller and the lobbying shops Beltway Government Strategies, R&R Partners, Inc., and the Madison Group as part of a major new lobbying push in Washington. Lobbyists Vinoda Basnayake and co-chair of the firms government relations practice Bob Crowe will work the account. Basnayake recently joined Nelson Mullins from Patton Boggs, which recently merged with Squire Sanders. He chairs the D.C. Government Relations Practice at Nelson Mullins.
