Large Corporations
In today's environment of increased scrutiny of lobbying activities, most corporations with significant legislative interests in Washington should have a Political Action Committee (PAC) to mitigate the risk of noncompliance.

Legislative and Regulatory—Government Policy
Problem
:
The Federal Election Commission has recently levied significant fines against companies for relatively common fundraising practices of lobbyists and governmental affairs employees.
Baker Hostetler has a solution.
Solution
:
To mitigate the risk of noncompliance with federal election laws, most corporations with significant legislative interests in Washington should have a Political Action Committee (PAC).
Increased government scrutiny of corporate compliance with federal election laws make this the right time for companies without a PAC to consider establishing one. Baker Hostetler has significant experience in establishing and operating PACs and would be pleased to discuss this service with you.
Result
:
A PAC provides a mechanism for the support of political interest favorable to a company’s position within the guidelines of federal law.
A PAC is a useful point where the inevitable requests that corporate executives, lobbyists and governmental affairs personnel will receive from political campaign and party organizations for contributions can be directed.
