Political Law

Politics is a $3 billion regulated industry.

Election law has become one of the fastest-growing and most widely scrutinized areas of the law in the last several years. Candidates and political committees are under a microscope more than ever, and it is important they have highly-trained legal counsel to help them comply with the laws, and to win elections.

Craig Engle is the founder of the Arent Fox Political Law Practice and has more than 25 years of experience representing candidates, political committees, corporations, and donors in FEC, IRS, FCC, ethics, civil and criminal investigations, litigation, and financial transactions.  Election law counsel Brett Kappel also has more than 20 years of experience advising corporations, trade associations, Members of Congress, political action committees and Super PACs on federal, state and local campaign finance laws and regulations.  The political law group has represented multi-million dollar presidential and congressional campaign committees and Fortune 500 corporations involved in campaigns and elections.

The Political Law Practice has won advisory opinions from the FEC on complicated campaign finance matters; successfully defended committees, corporations and individuals in FEC enforcement cases; and served as counsel in audits, ethics, and congressional investigations. The practice has also represented clients in contract negotiations, commercial disputes and complex litigation cases in federal courts on all issues related to government, elections, and politics. And, most notably, Craig and Brett have been counsel to presidential campaigns.

Innovation with integrity is the way Arent Fox approaches political law; providing counsel that helps you stay ahead of the competition and in clear compliance with the law.
