On site personal attention as well as the latest computer technology are both used to monitor legislative trends and developments that likely would affect clients and their interests. This includes legal analysis, and reporting on legislation as it moves through the lengthy process of hearings, committee meetings and floor debate.

 

Work with clients to ensure compliance with rules, laws and ethical considerations on lobbying, campaign finance and corporate political activity.

 

Practical recommendations are made to clients on the administration and development of political action committees. This includes proposals for effective use of campaign contributions.
