Arizona Campaign Finance Law Attorneys
Helping Candidate Committees, Independent Expenditure PACs, & Union Separate Segregated Funds Form & Operate
At Barton Mendez Soto, we know firsthand that campaign finance regulations are extensive, complex, and carefully scrutinized in today’s political climate. Regulatory and governmental entities closely observe how money moves through candidate committees, independent expenditure PACs (Super PACs), and union separate segregated funds. We also know that political opponents requesting investigations into the formation and operation of political campaign committees occur more often now than ever before.
Given the high scrutiny of campaign and union finance law, our accomplished lawyers at Barton Mendez Soto make it our top priority to provide thorough counsel and representation in these complicated matters. Our skilled legal team works proactively to minimize risks by helping our clients organize compliant systems and practices. Whether you have started a new political entity or face a conflict involving your political opponents, our reputable lawyers have the practical experience you want on your side to navigate the legal system and ensure your best interests are protected.
Comprehensive Political Compliance Assistance for Candidates, Super PACs & Labor Organizations
Making assumptions about whether a certain action or inaction is permissible can pose a big risk to a political entity. There are often specific codes that apply to particular situations that can impact whether contributions raised by or donated to Super PACs or union separate segregated funds are legal. From the beginning of the election cycle and throughout the entirety of the campaign, our attorneys offer insight regarding the nuances of campaign finance law to ensure your political action committee or organization is fully informed and protected from liability.
If you have questions about managing political finances, then please reach out to our firm today so we can give you reliable advice. Activities that are commonly subject to campaign finance law regulations include:
