Perkins Coie and American Bar Association Release New Edition of Authoritative Guide to Lobbying Laws
WASHINGTON, D.C., (September 18, 2024) - Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the American Bar Association (ABA) in the publication of the sixth edition of The Lobbying Manual, the ABA’s comprehensive legal guide to the laws of lobbying.
Any lobbyist seeking to engage with the federal government or congressional lawmakers, whether on behalf of a large corporation or other business, a law firm, public relations firm, or nonprofit group must comply with an array of laws governing lobbying and political activities. The Lobbying Manual is an authoritative guide that provides a clear overview of these varying laws and guidance on how to stay compliant and effective.
“This go-to manual has long been the gold standard legal guide for government relations professionals, lobbyists, and lawyers for navigating the complex landscape of laws governing lobbying and corporate political activity,” said Rebecca Gordon, a partner in Perkins Coie’s Political Law Group in Washington, D.C., who co-edited the new edition. “Lobbying sits at the intersection of many different legal principles and statutes, including disclosure, taxation, campaign finance, revolving door rules, and government ethics. Our authors have done a masterful job at providing an accessible legal guide for government relations professionals trying to meet their policy goals, and in-house counsel who support them.”
The two other co-editors of the manual are William V. Luneberg, Professor Emeritus of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, and Thomas M. Susman, the ABA’s Strategic Advisor for Global Programs and Governmental Affairs.
