Why It Matters

The Chinese American Service League ended its lobbying relationship with Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP less than three months after hiring the firm, according to a termination filing released on August 4.

The organization registered the firm on April 27, and terminated the engagement on June 30, paying $10,000 for the roughly two-month period covering the second quarter of 2026.

The engagement was minimal in scale. The lobbying firm's client roster includes organizations that have paid substantially more: Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies paid $270,000 across multiple quarters, while National Society of Genetic Counselors and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. each paid $240,000.

Broader Context

The lobbying engagement focused on Budget and Appropriations issues, according to the disclosure filing.

Josh Andrews, a senior director at Faegre Drinker, served as the assigned lobbyist on the account.
