With more than 30 years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies, trade associations, and industry coalitions, Managing Partner Gary Gallant is a nationally recognized authority in helping clients navigate the legal and reputational risks that come with political engagement and advocacy.

Our practice is built on a deep understanding of the legal frameworks that govern federal and state lobbying, political contributions, gift and travel rules, and interactions with public officials. These rules are nuanced, constantly evolving, and often vary significantly across jurisdictions — but noncompliance is not an option. We help clients build and maintain robust compliance programs that withstand scrutiny from regulators, watchdogs, and the public.

Clients turn to us because they know that in a world of high stakes and heightened visibility, experience matters. We work seamlessly with in-house legal, compliance, and government affairs teams to ensure that all advocacy activity — whether conducted directly, through outside lobbyists, or as part of a trade association — is properly disclosed, fully compliant, and aligned with the client’s corporate values and brand.

Our services include:

• Federal and State Lobbying Compliance – We advise on registration and reporting requirements in all 50 states and at the federal level, ensuring timely and accurate filings that reflect the full scope of covered lobbying activity.

• Campaign Finance Law – We provide guidance on corporate political contributions, independent expenditures, coordination rules, and FEC regulations, helping clients engage in the political process without running afoul of the law.

• Congressional Ethics and Gift Rules – We counsel on House and Senate rules governing gifts, meals, travel, and event sponsorship, helping clients structure interactions with Members and staff in full compliance with congressional ethics standards.

• Compliance Audits and Risk Assessments – We conduct internal reviews and provide practical recommendations to strengthen policies, procedures, and recordkeeping systems to reduce risk and improve transparency.

• Training and Support – We offer tailored training sessions for government affairs professionals, executives, and PAC staff to ensure they understand and can apply the relevant rules in real-world scenarios.

What sets us apart is not just our command of the law, but our commitment to practical, business-focused solutions. We understand the real-world pressures our clients face — and we provide counsel that is clear, responsive, and grounded in protecting both legal exposure and reputational integrity.

When it comes to political law compliance, the margin for error is small, but the consequences can be significant. At the Gallant Government & Law Group, we help clients stay on the right side of the law — and ahead of the curve.
