I advise clients on matters relating to the regulation of political activity. I counsel numerous Fortune 500 corporations and political candidates at the state and federal level. As former associate general counsel of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), I headed the general counsel’s Enforcement Division and supervised the legal staff charged with the review of the FEC’s Audit Division.I have a great deal of experience with the Ethics in Government Act, the Lobbying Disclosure Act, the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, and the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate ethics rules. I also have worked extensively with federal and state lobby registration laws, in particular compliance with the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act and the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Additionally, I advise corporations on internal ethics guidelines and conducts internal investigations. I advise many corporations on their responses to shareholder proposals regarding disclosure of political and lobbying expenditures.Beginning with the underwriting scandals on political contributions in the late 1980s and 1990s that led to MSRB Rules G-37/G-38 regulating the activities of broker-dealers, I have been at the forefront in advising clients on compliance with pay-to-play rules. I am widely known as a speaker on ethics in government and election law. A frequent featured guest on CNN, Fox News, NPR Radio and other media outlets, I was CNN’s on-air election law analyst during the 2000 Florida election dispute and made daily appearances in covering the election.In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
