Do you or your clients contribute to political campaigns? Do you represent entities seeking government contracts?

New Jersey has complex pay-to-play laws. Non-compliance can result in the loss of government contracts and the ability to participate in redevelopment projects. Fines and criminal sanctions can also result.

This seminar is particularly useful for attorneys who represent entities seeking government contracts at the state, county, or municipal level, or law firms or entities that contribute to political campaigns. Learn the latest developments in campaign finance rules to protect your clients from potential violations.

In addition, this annual program will feature a timely discussion on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, including the impact on legislative redistricting, and the state of voting rights nationally and in New Jersey. 

Topics include:

  • Pay-to-play rules under the Elections Transparency Act
  • Visits by congressional candidates to businesses
  • Election year activities of Section 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations
  • Houses of worship after dismissal of National Religious Broadcasters v. Bessent
  • Ethics related to campaign finance, politics, and brief writing
  • Permissible activities of PACs, Super PACs, and 527s
  • Impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais on voting rights
