BAKER & HOSTETLER money in federal elections

Ampersand as stored, not a law-sector recode

Two hundred seven unique donors produced 5,091 contributions totaling $3,629,482. About 25 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $713 describe the arithmetic — a higher mean gift than many payroll-heavy employer stamps near this dollar band. BAKER HOSTETLER without the ampersand, BAKER & HOSTETLER LLP, and ATTORNEY can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,629,482 unless they grouped to BAKER & HOSTETLER.

Top employer matches BAKER & HOSTETLER. The FEC field records what was typed, not a bar-registration legal name. LobbyVault does not recode ampersand-free variants into this key. Researchers who want a combined BakerHostetler family must recode after export. Two hundred seven unique people is a narrower roster than university or utility stamps at similar dollars.

207 donors and 5,091 lines

5,091 lines from 207 people is a moderate receipt pattern relative to the dollar total. Mean per donor is about $17,534 — among the higher per-person means in this packet wave, driven by fewer unique donors rather than a published large-gift field. The packet does not publish a partner-versus-associate split or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,629,482 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

Ampersand-free Baker Hostetler and ATTORNEY stay separate

BAKER HOSTETLER, ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and JONES DAY are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with BAKER & HOSTETLER would mix punctuation variants, a generic legal title, and another firm. This page reports $3,629,482 for BAKER & HOSTETLER only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the ampersand stamp. PARTNER, ASSOCIATE, and ATTORNEY exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of BAKER & HOSTETLER.

Donor table without matter inference

The BAKER & HOSTETLER donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a client matter, a lobbying registration, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the ampersand share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not a partnership roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm stamp. Repeat names among 5,091 lines from 207 people are expected. People who typed only ATTORNEY are not in these 207 unless a receipt also grouped to BAKER & HOSTETLER.

Ampersand firm stamp versus ATTORNEY and sibling spellings

BAKER & HOSTETLER keyed $3.6M from 5,091 contributions and 207 donors. BAKER HOSTETLER without the ampersand and ATTORNEY remain other keys. The 207 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the partnership. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the firm.

Keep $3,629,482 on this ampersand spelling. LLP-suffixed variants stay separate unless they grouped here. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. Unitemized gifts remain omitted.

Read $3,629,482 as the BAKER & HOSTETLER cluster only. About 25 gifts per person, a mean gift near $713, and about $17,534 per donor are packet arithmetic. Fewer unique donors than utility stamps at similar dollars raise the per-person mean; the packet does not publish a partner-versus-associate split. Unitemized gifts and firm PAC filings sit outside the $3.6M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

Questions

How much have BAKER & HOSTETLER-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,629,482 to the BAKER & HOSTETLER employer string, from 5,091 contributions and 207 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS offices-of-lawyers total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is BAKER HOSTETLER without the ampersand included?

Only if those receipts grouped to BAKER & HOSTETLER. An ampersand-free spelling is a separate grouped key if filers used it. The $3.6M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to BAKER & HOSTETLER. LobbyVault does not merge punctuation variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include people who typed only ATTORNEY?

No. ATTORNEY is a separate title key. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text BAKER & HOSTETLER. Staff who typed LAWYER or PARTNER without the firm sit in those other rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed BAKER & HOSTETLER?

The rollup counts 207 donors and 5,091 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a partnership headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
