Important Distinction

Legal practice and lobbying are distinct disciplines.

Lobbying services provided by Andrew & Hopkins are not the practice of law, and communications made in connection with lobbying activity are generally not protected by the attorney–client privilege. Clients engaging the firm for both legal and Government Affairs work receive coordinated counsel under clear engagement structures that reflect the distinction.
