Preparing to Interact with the Incoming Administration and Congress
As we look forward to 2025, corporate clients and their government relations staff are preparing for engagement with Washington come January. Some are interested in more immediate matters, such as how to celebrate the swearing-in of the new Congress or participate in inauguration festivities. Others are considering more strategic, substantive questions, like planning engagement directly with Congress or the Administration on specific legislative or regulatory issues. In this briefing, we will discuss a range of issues that face government relations professionals, and their supporting lawyers, as they prepare to interface with the next governing body. These include:
- The rules governing the hosting of congressional swearing-in events.
- An overview of the laws presiding over inauguration events.
- The basics of establishing a corporate federal PAC.
- The elements of registration and reporting under the federal Lobbying Disclosure Act.
- A brief introduction to the Foreign Agents Registration Act and how it affects non-U.S. clients.
