Politics and elections

Political parties and campaigns require counsel who are fluent in both law and politics. Sweigart Murdock, LLP’s partners have litigated complex election law matters, advised political candidates and committees and defended them in court, and staffed Election Day war rooms. Lawyers do not win elections; candidates do. But campaigns need trusted counsel to ensure that legal hurdles do not stand in the way of victory.

Nor do legal needs cease once a candidate is victorious. Occupying a high office is an honor of a lifetime. But political figures are a target for scandals and smears. We provide immediate, discreet, and nuanced guidance to public officials and serve as their private counsel in litigation.
