Three attorneys speak at Republican National Lawyers Association’s National Election Law Seminar

Three attorneys from Graves Garrett were featured speakers at the Republican National Lawyers Association’s 2018 National Election Law Seminar held last weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. Founding partner Todd Graves moderated a panel, while partner Eddie Greim and associate Alan Simpson delivered a presentation during the two-day event.

As the principal national organization of Republican lawyers, the RNLA has a targeted set of missions, including advancing professionalism, advancing open fair and honest elections, advancing career opportunities, and advancing Republican ideals.

Graves, the chair of the Missouri Republican party, served as moderator for a panel discussion on The First Amendment of Politics, which included insight on employee speech, public officials on social media, and donor disclosure to the IRS. Greim and Simpson delivered a presentation on Missouri election law as it relates to campaign finance, a state redistricting initiative and the Missouri Ethics Commission.

“This was a great opportunity for our attorneys to display their unique insight into election law,” Graves said. “I’d like to thank the Republican National Lawyers Association for putting on such a great conference and for allowing us to participate in the programming.”

At Graves Garrett, Graves represents clients nationwide before federal and state courts and administrative agencies. His areas of experience include political speech and election law, white-collar criminal defense, internal investigations, regulatory compliance, and complex commercial litigation. Greim focuses his practice on free speech and election law, internal investigations, and complex litigation and has become a “go-to” lawyer on policy and constitutional issues. Simpson works in the firm’s Free Speech & Election Law, Commercial and Business Litigation and White-Collar Criminal Defense practice groups.
