Kirkland & Ellis and Simpson Thacher Spend $200,000 on Lobbying to Navigate Employment Practices Under Trump Administration

Kirkland & Ellis and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett enlisted the services of Ballard Partners, allocating $100,000 each for lobbying efforts in the first quarter of this year. The lobbying was directed towards “advice related to employment practices” as both firms were involved in negotiations with the White House. Notably, Ballard Partners is led by Brian Ballard, a prominent fundraiser for former President Donald Trump. Amidst these developments, other Big Law firms experienced an upturn in lobbying income as clients sought guidance in navigating the Trump administration’s landscape.
