US Election 2024: Global Implications

The outcomes of the 2024 US presidential and congressional elections may have implications, both short- and long-term, for businesses and organizations across all industries and around the world. Morgan Lewis has assembled a cross-disciplinary bipartisan team of lawyers who are former government agency officials and regularly represent clients before all federal agencies, including executive agencies (the Departments of Justice and Education, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and US Securities and Exchange Commission), and congressional committees and inquiries.

Our 2024 US presidential election global implications team is primed to help clients navigate the pre- and post-election landscape by providing executive order analyses and updates on key agency developments and regulations and will develop programming and guidance regarding legal and business developments in the weeks and months to come.
