Why Hire a Campaign or Election Lawyer?
Before investing resources to launch a campaign, any individual running for office should seriously consider retaining legal counsel capable of advising on campaign and election laws, which are varied and complex. A lawyer who specializes in this field can help guide your campaign strategy and ensure that it remains fully compliant with local, state, and federal laws.
Additionally, candidates facing litigation, companies seeking advice on risks involved with corporate political activity, campus political groups attempting to exercise their rights, or organizations or citizens with concerns about election integrity should seek a lawyer with experience navigating the complexities of litigation in election-related matters.
Dhillon Law Group’s attorneys regularly practice before state and federal courts and commissions, such as the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), throughout the country in political and campaign law matters. We represent political consultants, state and federal candidates, ballot measure proponents, political committees, elected representative political bodies, and vendors.
