Administrative Law/Regulatory - Government Ethics
Our Government Ethics practice resides with attorneys that have dealt with ethics rules and written legal opinions that guided policy and procedure at the highest levels of our nation. Because of our experience, Crowell & Moring advises companies and organizations on the ethical rules and policies that apply to government business and contact, including the rules on gifts and entertainment, the revolving door, and conflicts of interest; lobbying; and corporate political activity. Our clients range from a major government contractor with a sophisticated Washington office – to which we provide advice on complex political activity questions for the corporation, its Political Action Committee (PAC), and its corporate officers – to corporations requiring fundamental guidance on establishing a PAC and registering as lobbyists. Moreover, we advise our corporate clients on the intricate legal questions that can arise when one of their executives enters or leaves government, and on the standards that apply whenever they are dealing with government officials in the Executive or Legislative branches.
