Political Action Committee Representation
Political Action Committees (“PACs”) play a crucial role in the political landscape, enabling individuals, organizations, and corporations to pool resources and support candidates, political parties, or causes that align with their interests.
We help donors navigate the complex web of federal, state, and local regulations governing PACs and offer comprehensive legal services tailored to the unique needs of PACs, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws to achieve your political objectives. Our services include:
- Formation and Registration: We will guide you through the process of creating a PAC, including advising on the best structure and ensuring compliance with Federal or State requirements. We will also prepare and file all necessary documents, including registration forms and financial disclosures.
- Regulatory Compliance: We provide ongoing compliance support, ensuring your PAC follows the wide array of legal regulations that govern contributions, expenditures, and reporting requirements, including contribution limits and prohibitions, coordination rules for PACs and Candidates, reporting and disclosure requirements, and compliance with applicable laws.
- Political Fundraising and Contributions: We assist in developing legal fundraising strategies that comply with the strict governing fundraising strategies, limitations on sources of contributions, disclosure requirements, and structuring of fundraising events and solicitations.
- Expenditures and Disbursements: We provide guidance on how PAC funds can be spent, ensuring that expenditures align with federal and local laws related to making direct contributions to candidates, parties, or other PACs, engaging in independent expenditures and issue advocacy, navigating rules around electioneering communications and voter mobilization efforts, and managing communications and advertising to comply with transparency and disclosure requirements.
- Risk Mitigation and Audit Compliance: We proactively approach compliance to minimize the risk of audits, penalties, and legal challenges, identifying political issues early and developing strategies to avoid costly mistakes.
We understand that every PAC has unique needs and goals, so we provide tailored legal services to support your specific objectives. We keep abreast of changing regulations and ensure your PAC remains compliant in a dynamic political environment. Let us help you establish and maintain a legally compliant PAC to achieve your political goals.
