Navigating the increasingly complex landscape of corporate political activities is becoming a larger challenge for legal professionals globally. Developments in federal and state lobbying, campaign finance, and ethics rules have significantly complicated corporate compliance. This is particularly the case for those specializing in these fields, where having the most up-to-date and relevant information is crucial.
In order to adequately address these complexities, a comprehensive program has been initiated by the Practising Law Institute (PLI). This program boasts an expert faculty comprising of senior officials from critical organizations such as the Federal Election Commission, the Department of Justice, Congressional ethics committees, state ethics agencies, corporate compliance officers, and private legal professionals.
The upcoming event, named “Corporate Political Activities 2023: Complying With Campaign Finance, Lobbying, and Ethics Laws”, is due to take place on October 16th – 17th in Washington, DC. This hybrid event—offering both in-person and virtual participation options—aims to assist corporate legal professionals in better understanding and complying with the current regulatory environment surrounding campaign finance, lobbying, and ethics laws.
This progressive learning strategy offers a pivotal opportunity for legal professionals working in corporations and law firms to become better equipped in the rapidly evolving framework of corporate political activities. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen compliance, minimize risks, and fortify ethical standards in corporate political engagements.
