What Utrecht, Kleinfeld, Fiori, Partners does

Utrecht, Kleinfeld, Fiori, Clark, Partners PLLC is a Washington, DC-based boutique law firm organized as a professional limited liability company, operating from a single office at 1634 Eye Street NW, Suite 1250. The firm specializes in political and nonprofit law, with practice areas spanning campaign finance law, nonprofit law, and ethics/lobbying disclosure law. It advises a progressive-leaning client base that includes presidential, senatorial, and congressional campaigns, federal/state/local political committees, Super PACs, 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations, labor unions, corporations, trade associations, and individual political donors, covering compliance, entity formation and structuring, disclosure filings with the FEC, IRS, and House/Senate/OGE, and crisis management.

The firm is staffed by four partners (Lyn Utrecht, Eric Kleinfeld, Patricia A. Fiori, and Managing Partner Adam Clark) and three associates (Joseph Goldberg, Elizabeth Wagoner, Lily Behrens), for a total of 1-10 employees. Multiple partners previously held senior positions at the Federal Election Commission and have served as counsel to multiple Democratic presidential campaigns (Clinton/Gore 1992/1996, Gore/Lieberman 2000, Edwards 2004/2008, Dean 2004, Clinton 2008, Inslee, Biden), and to congressional ethics bodies. There is no proprietary technology platform or product; service delivery is via direct partner-led engagement, with secondary distribution through the firm's up-law.com website.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services firm: revenue is generated through legal counsel billed via hourly rates, retainers, or flat-fee arrangements depending on engagement scope (no public pricing). Client acquisition runs on reputation, partner networks, and referrals within the political-law community rather than paid marketing; the firm does not have funding, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A or capital-markets activity. Reporting cadence is tied to election cycles, which produces a fundamentally episodic revenue pattern relative to the presidential cycle.
