Campaign Finance & Compliance

Every serious campaign has to address campaign finance and other legal compliance.  A complex web of federal, state and local rules govern the conduct of ballot measure campaigns.  Litigation and administrative complaints over the financing and conduct of ballot measure campaign are common. 

We have counseled dozens of campaigns, not-for-profit institutions and businesses on campaign finance and legal compliance around ballot measures.

For ballot measure campaigns, we offer a full range of campaign finance and legal compliance services, including:

• Establishing not-for-profit corporations to carry out ballot measure activity
• Securing exempt tax status for ballot measure campaigns and supporting not-for-profit corporations
• Preparing and filing federal and state campaign finance reports and tax returns
• Prosecuting or defending campaign finance compliance complaints
• Reviewing campaign advertising and materials for compliance with the law
• Counseling campaigns and not-for-profits with traditional legal compliance, including contracts, employment practices and risk prevention
