Complimentary Seminar
With the ongoing expansion of laws governing political activity, the risks for businesses and individuals have never been greater. In many cases, federal law now requires businesses and individuals to comply with and certify they are “familiar” with restrictions that once applied only to government officials. Speakers included top government attorneys in the field as well as Roll Call political law columnist C. Simon Davidson. Panel discussions of current issues in political law compliance were followed by an interactive Q&A.
