Corporate Political Activities Deskbook

Corporate Political Activities Deskbook provides a thorough grounding in the current state of the law on federal and state campaign finance, pay-to-play, lobbying, and gift compliance. A practical manual for in-house attorneys advising corporations about involvement in the political process, this new Deskbook draws on the extensive practice and regulatory experience of Skadden, Arps authors Ken Gross, Ki Hong and Lawrence Noble. After describing the impact of the seminal 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizen's United in expanding permitted corporate speech in the political realm, the Corporate Political Activities Deskbook walks the reader through the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) requirements in such areas as: •Permitted and prohibited corporate activity in both the financial and in-kind areas •Who makes up the "restricted class" that may be approached for contributions to a corporate PAC •Wha
