ACI is proud to announce the 5th National Forum on the Foreign Agents Registration Act, scheduled for December 1, 2023 in the Washington, DC area.

  • Who’s Calling Their Lawyer? The Expanding Range of “Non-Traditional” Clients for FARA Matters-and The Lesser-Known Takeaways
  • The Future of the LDA Exemption amid Heightened DOJ Scrutiny: A Narrowed Interpretation and Potential for Repeal?
