What We Help You With

We design custom compliance programs tailored to how your organization actually operates in Louisiana. Our team provides the tools and hands-on guidance you need to meet every disclosure deadline while avoiding regulatory penalties. By watching the rules for you, we make sure your staff is never caught off guard by a surprise filing requirement or a sudden shift in state ethics laws.

Lobbying Compliance

The Louisiana Board of Ethics (LBE) enforces strict registration and reporting rules for advocates. You must register within five days of being employed or making your first covered contact.

We walk you through these tight windows, managing your monthly expenditure reports and registration renewals. Our team ensures you accurately disclose compensation and track food and beverage spending to stay within the state’s tight annual caps.

Political Contributions Compliance

The Supervisory Committee on Campaign Finance Disclosure manages the rules for political giving. We break down exactly how corporate contribution limits restrict your engagement with state candidates and PACs by monitoring your spending against current donation caps, which vary by office sought.

We keep your filings accurate. Our experts handle the technical data entry so your political engagement remains fully transparent.

Procurement Lobbying Compliance

Pitching services or discussing public contracts with executive agencies can quickly cross the line into lobbying. Regulators actively monitor vendor communications for ethics breaches during the bidding process.

We evaluate your sales and contracting activities to pinpoint registration triggers. This proactive approach keeps your interactions with state purchasing officials completely above board. It protects your ability to secure future government contracts.

International Compliance

Many of our clients operate far beyond U.S. borders, and those global operations bring heavy legal responsibilities. We stay on top of the shifting rules across Canada, Europe, Asia, and beyond, so your team doesn’t have to safeguard your brand in foreign markets, letting you focus on scaling while staying strictly aligned with international ethics laws.

By syncing your global duties with your domestic strategy, we ensure your governance stays tight and consistent no matter where you’re operating.

Our experts eliminate the administrative grind of tracking ethics laws. We give you the tools and data needed to maintain a clean compliance record while focusing on your core advocacy goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the state prohibit contingent fee lobbying?

Yes, success-based pay is strictly illegal here. R.S. 38:2314 requires all professional service contracts to outlaw these arrangements specifically. If you violate this ban, the state can immediately scrap your contract without paying a dime. Plus, you risk losing your professional license for at least a year. We verify every agreement meets these high standards.

Are there fundraising restrictions during the legislative session?

Louisiana lawmakers have to give the Board of Ethics at least 30 days’ written notice before hosting a fundraiser during any legislative session. If they skip that filing, it’s flat-out illegal for lobbyists or their clients to donate or offer loans. We monitor these registries for you, ensuring your team never accidentally cuts a check that violates these strict session “blackout” rules.

What is the current single-event gift limit for 2026?

As of 2026, state regulators have increased the gift limit for food, drink, and refreshments to $81 per person for a single event. This limit is adjusted annually based on changes in the consumer price index. It is important to note that this $81 cap does not apply to gatherings held in conjunction with meetings of national or regional organizations, or statewide organizations of governmental officials.

How does the “Casi” o Rule impact political contributions?

The Casino Control Act imposes a strict ban on political giving by certain entities. Any organization holding a casino operating contract in the state, including its key employees with decision-making authority, is strictly prohibited from making campaign contributions to any candidate from the state level down to the municipal level. The courts have upheld this restriction as a necessary measure to prevent even the appearance of corruption within the strictly regulated gaming industry.

What are the mandatory ethics training requirements for advocates?

Pursuant to LA R.S. 42:1170A, certain individuals engaged in the political process must complete at least one hour of ethics training per calendar year. This training focuses on the Code of Governmental Ethics, ensuring that all participants understand the parameters of lawful conduct. We help your team manage these training logs and provide internal compliance summaries to ensure every advocate on your staff remains in good standing with the Board of Ethics.

Keep Your Organization Compliant with Louisiana’s Ethics Standards

Constantly checking the rules across overlapping regulatory boards drains your internal resources. Every hour your staff spends digging through complex filing deadlines is an hour stolen from your actual advocacy goals.

We take over that administrative paperwork, freeing your team to focus on shaping policy and driving business growth. Do not spend another minute wondering if your next filing is completely accurate.

Schedule a quick, live walkthrough today to see how our compliance guidebooks and expert advisory services eliminate the guesswork from your regulatory reporting in Louisiana. Let us handle the risk while you deliver results.
