In 2010, following the Citizens United and SpeechNow decisions, we created one of the first Super PACs and single-member 527 political organizations, and quickly established several other Super PACs.
Our firm has earned a reputation as being a leading innovator in election law. Our approach to Super PACs is decidedly different: unlike other firms, we often incorporate Super PACs as nonprofit organizations in Delaware to protect the officers and directors from liability. We handle all the corporate aspects of a Super PAC's operation, from filing the certificate of incorporation; preparing bylaws, articles of incorporation, and preparing and filing your committee’s annual reports. Arent Fox can also serve on your initial Board of Directors to get your committee underway.
We also have a campaign finance service that handles all the financial transactions a Super PAC needs. We make your deposits and disbursements, which often include making same-day wires of hundreds of thousands of dollars to media buyers.
Arent Fox has created an in-depth checklist that covers every step in the process, including incorporation, reserving a web domain, establishing a P.O. Box, establishing an Employer ID Number (EIN), setting up a bank account, filing documents, serving as Incorporator, serving as your Treasurer, and drafting bylaws and resolutions.
