The Constitution guarantees all Americans — individuals, groups, organizations and corporations alike — free speech and free association. These rights, plus the right to vote and the right to petition the government, are the cornerstones of our democratic society. But these rights aren’t free. In the current political and media environment, fundraising by candidates, political spending by corporations and nonprofits, and the activities of lobbyists are the subjects of intense scrutiny. Virtually every aspect of political participation now is regulated — at the federal level, in all fifty states, even by individual cities, counties and towns. Registration, reporting and conduct-based restrictions are the new price of political engagement. In this dynamic legal field, we are honored to have earned the confidence of an A-List roster of clients. We think creatively and strategically, work discreetly and efficiently, and give accurate, practical advice to consequential political leaders, influential corporations, Super PACs and impactful non-profit organizations. We work hard and smart every day to keep their trust.
