Political and Campaign Finance Compliance

Clients have come to rely on McCarter to advise them on New Jersey’s complex laws and regulations that may impact their business operations in relation to government contracts and the political process. We advise individuals, corporations, and senior executives on issues related to state and federal campaign finance laws and, drawing on our in-depth knowledge of these complex regulations, regularly help clients understand and remain compliant with disclosure and reporting requirements, contribution limits, and ethics and gift rules. McCarter understands the way campaign finance laws affect pay-to-play laws, and we work with clients to ensure that contributions do not affect their ability to secure government contracts. We also understand the laws and regulations governing political action committees (PACs) and advise clients on their creation and operation.
