Scott Thomas joined Dickstein Shapiro in 2006, and is the head of the Political Law Practice. A former Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman, Mr. Thomas focuses his political law practice on campaign finance, ethics, and lobbying law. His extensive and distinguished background in the area of political law is a valuable resource in providing guidance and assurance to clients who need to interact with government officials. With more than 30 years of experience in this field, he assesses current compliance issues and suggests best practices to ensure adherence to the rules. Given the ever-changing law and its interpretations by regulatory bodies, he provides up-to-date advice that enables businesses, associations, PACs, and others to work successfully with government representatives at the federal, state, or local level.
