PUBLIC
AFFAIRS LAW
The
Public Affairs Practice Group at Saiber seeks to strengthen the
relationships among our business and non-profit clients with public
entities, including state and federal agencies, authorities and regulatory
or legislative bodies at all levels of government. Our lawyers have a
thorough understanding of, and experience with, the inner-workings of
government, policymaking and enforcement. Therefore, we are able to advise
clients of the implications of public laws and regulations for their private
concerns and practices.
Regulatory Matters
Saiber
attorneys represent clients, both corporate and individual, before various
municipal, state and federal agencies, including the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and taxing, zoning, licensing and planning
agencies at all levels. For further information on these practices, visit
our business litigation practice page,
administrative and regulatory
practice page, our
environmental compliance and litigation
practice page, and our
land use, zoning and planning
page.
Election Law
Our experienced practitioners are well-acquainted with the
intricate regulations imposed upon candidates and continuing political
committees by state and federal law. Our practitioners provide guidance
and representation for filings, submissions and/or hearings before the state
on such issues. We have advised candidates, campaign officials, donors and
volunteers on their rights and responsibilities.
Campaign
Finance Limitations
Our lawyers have particular experience in the laws and
regulations governing campaign finance, especially those recently enacted in
connection with New Jersey’s “pay-to-play” reforms, which are complex and
evolving. We recognize that many of our clients seek to participate in
civic and political activities by contributing or soliciting contributions
to campaign committees but are deterred by the perception that political
contributions are tainted. Misinterpretation or disregard for laws and
regulations governing campaign finance can lead to public relations issues,
as well as potentially time-consuming disciplinary action and civil and/or
criminal penalties. We advise our clients on how most effectively to
participate in the political process and meet goals, while adhering fully to
the law.
Non-Profit
Organizations
We also understand the unique needs of not-for-profit
schools, cultural institutions, and social service providers. We represent
a variety of non-profit, tax-exempt and charitable entities in a wide range
of necessary legal services, including organization, employment issues, real
estate matters, tax advice, dispute resolution and business counseling.
