JONES DAY

Contributors who listed JONES DAY on federal itemized receipts account for $4.0M ($4,003,638), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 8,058 contributions from 625 donors. JONES DAY is a two-word law-firm name as stored, not a NAICS legal-services total and not the firm’s PAC.

Key figures

  • JONES DAY as FEC employer text totals $4.0M ($4,003,638) from 625 donors.
  • 8,058 contribution lines sit under that two-word firm string.
  • GREENBERG TRAURIG, JENNER & BLOCK, and ATTORNEY are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or firm PAC total.

Two-word firm name, not a legal-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. JONES DAY is the name as committees stored it, without LLP in this key. The $4,003,638 total is those itemized gifts. It is not the firm’s global revenue, not a docket total, and not a NAICS offices-of-lawyers category.

People who typed JONES DAY LLP, JONES, DAY, REAVIS & POGUE as a legacy string, or ATTORNEY without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined Jones Day family must recode after export.

625 donors and 8,058 lines

625 unique donors produced 8,058 JONES DAY contribution lines totaling $4,003,638. That is on the order of 13 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $497. Mean per donor is about $6,406. The packet does not publish a practice-group split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $4,003,638 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions

How much have JONES DAY-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $4,003,638 to the JONES DAY employer string, from 8,058 contributions and 625 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS legal-services total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is JONES DAY LLP included?
Only if those receipts grouped to the two-word JONES DAY key. An LLP-suffix string is a separate grouped key if filers used it. The $4.0M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to JONES DAY. LobbyVault does not merge suffix variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
Does this include Greenberg Traurig or Jenner & Block staff?
No. GREENBERG TRAURIG and JENNER & BLOCK are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text JONES DAY. Staff who typed only ATTORNEY are in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
How many unique donors listed JONES DAY?
The rollup counts 625 donors and 8,058 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
