ELECTION LAW

OVERVIEW


Our team of attorneys advises clients on issues concerning lobbying, campaign finance, and individual and corporate political contributions.  We regularly advise candidates, committees, political subdivisions, and other entities regarding campaign finance compliance. Our lawyers have represented candidates (for statewide office and local office), ballot measure or issue committees, as well as political action committees (both Missouri and federal PACs). Our attorneys have successfully defended clients against Missouri Ethics Commission complaints. 
 
Our attorneys have extensive experience in relation to the Missouri initiative and referendum processes.  From drafting initiative petitions covering a broad range of subject, to advising the issue campaigns, to litigating on behalf of proponents or opponents of local and statewide ballot measures, our team is frequently called upon for high profile election related issues and projects.
 
Our attorneys have served as treasurers of multi-million-dollar political action committees as well as served in public office themselves.  We are uniquely positioned to see election law issues from multiple perspectives and develop a comprehensive strategy to protect, preserve, and further your interests. ​

Picture
The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Past results afford no guarantee of future results. Every case is different and must be judged on its own merits. ​
