Pak's Lobbying Efforts in Washington Acquire Massive Scale
The Sunday Guardian
|August 10, 2025
In a concerted effort rarely seen before, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has hired at least seven lobbying and legal firms in the United States in just the first eight months of 2025, according to official filings.
While Pakistan has long maintained a lobbying presence in Washington, the current scale, pace, and profile of the firms involved is unprecedented in recent memory, raising fresh questions about how foreign money shapes perception and access in US policymaking circles.
At the centre of this surge is a network of well-connected consultancies—many led by individuals with direct ties to the US political establishment, including former White House officials, litigators with global enforcement records, and seasoned Capitol Hill strategists.
