Interactions between the public and policymakers are governed by a complex web of state and federal laws, regulations and rules designed to protect the integrity of the political process.

We guide our clients through the complex maze of election laws and regulations to help them achieve their goals while avoiding the legal and ethical pitfalls that have become all too common.

We advise corporations, trade associations and membership groups on the following:

• Political contributions and activities under federal and state law including the Federal Election Campaign Act as amended by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (McCain-Feingold)
• Formation and operation of separate segregated funds (more popularly known as Political Action Committees or PACs) and Section 527 organizations
• Compliance with federal and state ethics and gift rules including the Ethics in Government Act
