Stephanie Olivo, the former director of compliance at the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC), has joined McCarter & English as a special counsel.
Olivo will join McCarter & English’s government affairs group and work on political and campaign compliance issues for the firm.
At ELEC, Olivo was the go-to person on matters relating to corporate and PAC contributions, lobbyist registrations, and the administration of New Jersey’s gubernatorial public financing law.
Before joining ELEC nine years ago, Olivo was a senior counsel at the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and an assistant solicitor for Atlantic City.
“I am looking forward to helping businesses and organizations engaging in the public arena,” stated Olivo. “The move is a natural fit, and working with top-quality colleagues who share the same end goal — to provide the best outcome for clients — is very exciting.”
