2,375 law firms worldwide practising Government Relations & Lobbying. Narrow down by city to find a firm near you.
A lobbying and government relations lawyer helps companies, trade groups and non-profits deal with public authorities in a lawful way. The work covers registering as a lobbyist, filing activity and spending reports, advising on gifts and hospitality for officials, preparing submissions to consultations and drafting position papers on proposed laws. These lawyers also run internal compliance checks and handle investigations when a contact with an official is questioned.
Rules on lobbying are national, and some regions or cities add their own. Several countries keep a public transparency register and require lobbyists to disclose clients and budgets. Others have looser codes of conduct. Anti-bribery laws, revolving door rules for former officials and limits on political donations sit alongside them. A company that lobbies in several capitals, or before international bodies, needs to follow each set of rules separately.
Fees are usually hourly or a monthly retainer for ongoing policy work, with fixed fees for registration or a single compliance review. Success fees tied to the outcome of a government decision are restricted or banned in many places, because they can create a conflict of interest, so ask about this early.
Deadlines are frequent. Registration is often required before or soon after the first contact with an official, and periodic reports have fixed filing dates. Late or missing reports can lead to fines or a public listing. Before hiring, ask whether the firm itself is registered for lobbying work, how it handles conflicts with other clients, who will speak to officials and how activity will be reported.
