Self Employed/Attorney as FEC employer text: $6.8 million

A space-and-slash spelling, stored as its own key

FEC employer fields are free text. Self Employed/Attorney uses a space after Self and a slash before Attorney. Self-Employed/Attorney, SELF-EMPLOYED, ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and ATTY are other stored strings. LobbyVault does not collapse them. The $6,826,665 total is only receipts grouped to this exact variant.

A donor who listed a firm such as SULLIVAN & CROMWELL or LATHAM & WATKINS sits in that firm row. A donor who typed only ATTORNEY sits in the title row. This guide stays on Self Employed/Attorney as indexed from FEC.gov.

Of-counsel lawyers, solo filers, and people who used the slash out of habit can share Self Employed/Attorney. The $6,826,665 total cannot be read as a solo-practice census. Named firms remain other keys.

1,000 donors and 14,326 lines

1,000 unique donors produced 14,326 Self Employed/Attorney contribution lines totaling $6,826,665. That is on the order of 14 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a solo-versus-of-counsel split. Self/Physician is a different slash combo for clinicians, not a lawyer synonym.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and bar-association committee filings are outside the $6,826,665 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

1,000 unique donors produced 14,326 lines. The round donor count is the rollup as indexed, not a rounded estimate. Unitemized gifts remain omitted.

Why this guide does not overlay the industry hub

Two packets can point at the same /industries/self-employed-attorney/ table. Overlay copy belongs on the larger-dollar spelling. This Self Employed/Attorney guide therefore has no overlayTarget. Internal links still open the donor table for researchers comparing variants.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside this combo or beside a firm name. KING & SPALDING, HOLLAND & KNIGHT, and KIRKLAND & ELLIS remain partnership keys when donors typed those names instead.

Donor table

The Self Employed/Attorney donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a case caption, a bar complaint, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a state bar roster.

Repeat names are expected among 14,326 lines from 1,000 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the slash string.

Because this guide has no overlayTarget, the /industries/self-employed-attorney/ hub is not supposed to inject this punctuation variant’s lede. Researchers still use the linked donor table to compare Self Employed/Attorney’s $6,826,665 from 1,000 donors and 14,326 lines with the hyphenated sibling. ATTORNEY typed alone remains a third key.

Punctuation variants and the missing overlay

Self Employed/Attorney grouped $6,826,665 from 1,000 donors and 14,326 lines. The hyphenated Self-Employed/Attorney spelling is a larger-dollar sibling that owns the hub overlay. This guide stays overlay-free so two JSON files do not compete to inject copy onto the same /industries/self-employed-attorney/ table.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ATTY, SELF-EMPLOYED, and named firms such as SULLIVAN & CROMWELL remain other keys. Unitemized gifts and bar-association PAC filings stay outside the $6,826,665 unless an individual receipt carries this space-and-slash variant.

Internal links still open the donor table for researchers comparing spellings. LobbyVault does not attach a case caption to a large gift. Occupation pages show titles stored beside this combo. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS legal-services total.

Keep Self Employed/Attorney’s $6,826,665, 14,326 contributions, and 1,000 donors on this space-and-slash variant. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and the hyphenated sibling stay on their own pages.

The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. FEC.gov via LobbyVault is the source, not a NAICS legal-services total.

Questions

How much have Self Employed/Attorney-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $6,826,665 to the Self Employed/Attorney employer string, from 14,326 contributions and 1,000 donors.

Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the same as Self-Employed/Attorney or ATTORNEY?
