Some lobbyists had been uncertain that revenues would keep pace after a burst of activity triggered by pandemic-era relief legislation, but quarterly lobbying numbers reported under the Lobbying Disclosure Act and shared with Reuters on Friday indicate that work only increased during the past year.
Nadeam Elshami, who co-chairs Brownstein's lobbying arm, in a statement credited its "bipartisan team" for driving another record year. Akin Gump, which counts ZTE, Qualcomm and Anheuser-Busch among its lobbying clients, fell just short of its 2021 total lobbying revenue of $53.38 million.
