LATHAM WATKINS
FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault assign $6,402,811 to the employer string LATHAM & WATKINS. The cluster is 13,330 contributions from 572 donors. That partnership name is not a NAICS legal-services total, not the firm’s PAC, and not SULLIVAN & CROMWELL, KING & SPALDING, HOLLAND & KNIGHT, or KIRKLAND & ELLIS. Those firms are sibling keys. ATTORNEY and LAWYER remain title rows.
Key figures
- LATHAM & WATKINS as FEC employer text totals $6,402,811 from 572 donors.
- 13,330 contribution lines sit under that partnership string.
- SULLIVAN & CROMWELL, KING & SPALDING, and HOLLAND & KNIGHT are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or firm PAC total.
Ampersand letterhead on individual receipts
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. LATHAM & WATKINS is the partnership as stored, including the ampersand. The $6,402,811 total is those itemized gifts. It is not the firm’s revenue, not matter-billing totals, and not a NAICS rollup of all large law firms.
People who typed LATHAM WATKINS without the ampersand, LW, ATTORNEY, or LAWYER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.
Offices in many cities share one partnership string when filers type LATHAM & WATKINS. The industry headline does not split offices. Occupation pages show titles beside the firm.
572 donors and 13,330 lines
572 unique donors produced 13,330 LATHAM & WATKINS contribution lines totaling $6,402,811. That is on the order of 23 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a partner-versus-associate split. KING & SPALDING and HOLLAND & KNIGHT are other partnership strings in this batch.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,402,811 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
572 unique donors produced 13,330 lines totaling $6,402,811. Alumni who still type the firm remain in the 572. The FEC field is not a current partnership directory.
