Election and Campaign Finance

 

 

 

Many elected officials at the local and state levels look to The Law Offices of Alwyn H. Luckey for legal representation in election challenges, voting rights issues and campaign finance matters.  Beyond the traditional representation of elected officials on these issues, businesses need to understand the applicability of state and federal campaign finance laws and regulations. Our clients include corporations, trade associations, labor organizations, political committees, candidates, individuals and tax exempt entities.

 

Many businesses seek counsel when confronted with the complex laws and regulations involving campaign contribution limits, political action committees (PACs) and corporate expenditures, both at the state and federal level. Our firm regularly advises clients on matters related to pay-to-play rules, lobbying, gift/travel/entertainment limits, ethics rules, post-employment restrictions, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Federal Election Committee (FEC) and applicable enforcement issues. We represent clients nationwide at the state and federal level in court and at administrative agency hearings on issues related to these matters.

 

We work with businesses and organizations on developing political law and government ethics compliance programs, including training companies in carrying out these programs. Evidence of effective compliance programs is valuable when defending against civil and administrative enforcement actions.
