Andrea M. Cascarilla has joined Dykema’s Government Policy & Practice Group as a government policy advisor in the Lansing office.

Cascarilla, who was included on the Crain’s Detroit Business 2020 “50 Names to Know in Lobbying” guide, joins Dykema from Acuitas LLC, where she was the Senior Legislative Director, responsible for managing various clients and playing a significant role in several successful appropriations efforts, from healthcare and education to infrastructure and economic development.

She was recognized by former state Reps. Aaron Miller, R-Sturgis and Isaac Robinson, D-Detroit, as well as the Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association, for her work on PA 96 of 2019—a law that ensures Michigan’s licensed professional counselors can continue to provide treatment to hundreds of thousands of residents in need.
