Career
Michael Bell’s comprehensive knowledge of policy, government relations, and the legislative process was honed during the time he spent serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee staff, working for Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and in the Office of Legislative Affairs at the U.S. Department of Justice. These roles provided the valuable insights that he applies to his practice, which is focused at the intersection of business and government.
Michael represents corporations and trade associations on policy and oversight matters before Congress and the executive branch agencies of the U.S. government. He develops and implements policy recommendations and political strategies to achieve client goals, and provides strategic counsel to entities navigating congressional investigations, complex government processes and dealing with crisis management.
In addition, Michael advises on all aspects of political law compliance, including federal, state, and local election laws, lobbying disclosure regulations, and government ethics rules. He is experienced in developing compliance programs for large corporations, performing internal compliance audits, training corporate executives, and representing clients through complaints or compliance investigations.
