VINSON ELKINS
Contributors who listed VINSON & ELKINS on federal itemized receipts account for $5,410,601, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 9,055 contributions from 418 donors. VINSON & ELKINS is the ampersand partnership string as typed, not a NAICS legal-services total, not the firm’s PAC, and not every longer form such as VINSON & ELKINS LLP. Unitemized gifts stay outside the $5,410,601.
Key figures
- VINSON & ELKINS as FEC employer text totals $5,410,601 from 418 donors.
- 9,055 contribution lines sit under that ampersand partnership string.
- VINSON & ELKINS LLP is a separate key if stored that way.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or firm PAC total.
Ampersand partnership name, not every LLP suffix
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. VINSON & ELKINS is the two-name form with an ampersand. The $5,410,601 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not billable-hour revenue, not a Texas bar roster, and not a NAICS rollup of all law-firm employers. People who typed VINSON AND ELKINS, VINSON & ELKINS LLP, or V&E sit in other rows if stored that way.
The FEC field is not a human-resources export across energy, finance, and litigation practice groups. Alumni who still type VINSON & ELKINS remain in the 418. LobbyVault does not recode those spelling variants into this ampersand key. Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm.
418 donors and 9,055 lines
418 unique donors produced 9,055 VINSON & ELKINS contribution lines totaling $5,410,601. That is on the order of 22 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among partners, counsel, and associates.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,410,601 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

Questions
- How much have VINSON & ELKINS-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $5,410,601 to the VINSON & ELKINS employer string, from 9,055 contributions and 418 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 on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this Vinson & Elkins corporate or PAC spending?
- No. The $5,410,601 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to VINSON & ELKINS. Firm treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Does this include VINSON & ELKINS LLP?
- Only if the grouped employer text is VINSON & ELKINS. The LLP suffix is a separate key if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the ampersand partnership string. Lawyers who typed only ATTORNEY sit in occupation-style rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed VINSON & ELKINS?
- The rollup counts 418 donors and 9,055 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.
