About Ward & Lawless

At Ward & Lawless, we offer a rare combination of regulatory, corporate, and law firm experience unmatched in this field of service.

Our understanding of the real-life application of these laws gives us a full perspective of our clients’ struggles with deadlines, budgets, staffing, and cultures. We have been in your shoes personally and understand your fears and frustrations. We are not attorneys; we are compliance specialists who have reached a point in our careers where we are often consulted not only by clients but by regulators, law firms, and other service providers for our extensive knowledge of this work.

We support clients nationwide who require assistance with federal, state, or local lobbying and campaign finance compliance and disclosures. We assist with registration and reporting required by the jurisdictions in which you are engaging, can review your existing procedures and policies, and recommend or create systems for accurate collection and disclosure of activity and expenditures.

We offer practical, customized administration and disclosure compliance services at a far more reasonable rate than most large vendors or law firms.

Why Choose Us?

Extensive Experience

Having spent nearly 60 years combined working in this unique area of compliance, we have unparalleled experience and great working relationships with staff, something other providers do not have. We have been a lobbyist, we have been a regulator, we understand.

Better Value

Being a boutique firm, we offer better value to our clients with flexibility, availability, and more reasonable rates than law firms or other vendors.

Customized Services

We collaborate with our clients to tailor our services to their specific needs based on what is required and can scale these services as needs change over time. We help our clients ensure that they meet all requirements and deadlines.
