William Minor counsels corporations, associations, and professional firms on compliance with federal lobbying statutes and rules, including the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the congressional and Executive Branch gift and travel rules. He also advises clients on complying with the Federal Election Campaign Act, represents clients before the Federal Election Commission and other agencies, and provides guidance on state and local lobbying, ethics and campaign finance laws.
Mr. Minor is the author of the Bureau of National Affairs (BNA) portfolio on the regulation of corporate lobbying, part of the BNA Corporate Practice Series. He speaks frequently on political law matters and is regularly quoted in the press on developments in this area of the law. In September 2010, he was the subject of an interview in BNA Corporate Counsel Weekly discussing "Lobbying Regulation: Implications for Corporate Counsel."
Mr. Minor also represents clients before Congress and the Executive Branch on a variety of issues, including energy and climate change, financial services, e-commerce and privacy law.
Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business names him for his Government: Political Law practice, noting, "Sources are impressed by his high-quality work with trade associations and federal party committees. One commentator remarks: 'He reads all of our Lobbying Disclosure Act registrations and oversees all other compliance issues with a jeweler's eye, always with our need for reputational integrity in mind.'" Mr. Minor has been recognized by Washingtonian magazine as one of Washington 's Top Lawyers for campaign and election law.
Active in DLA Piper pro bono projects, Mr. Minor was named Pro Bono Partner of the Year for the Washington, DC office in 2004. In 2007, the Capital Area Food Bank awarded him its Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Keeping the Dream Alive Award for his work in support of federal funding for the Food Bank's expanded operations. Mr. Minor also serves on the board of directors of two charities: Habitat for Humanity of Washington, DC, for which he formerly served as board president; and Running Start, which seeks to inspire young women to be active in public policy and to run for political office.
Prior to joining DLA Piper, Mr. Minor served as legislative assistant to US Representative Edward J. Markey. Mr. Minor has also worked for Marttila & Kiley, a political consulting firm, and previously held positions with the American Civil Liberties Union, US Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
