The Raben Group’s policy breakfast with Edward P. Lazarus, chief of staff to chairman Julius Genachowski of the Federal Communications Commission

We’d be delighted if you’d join us for The Raben Group’s policy breakfast with Edward P. Lazarus, chief of staff to chairman Julius Genachowski of the Federal Communications Commission.

Mr. Lazarus oversees major telecommunications policy initiatives, as well as the day-to-day operations of the FCC.

Mr. Lazarus comes to the FCC from Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, where he was co-head of the firm-wide global litigation practice and a member of the firm's management committee, overseeing more than 800 lawyers. He is a former prosecutor, having served as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, and started his legal career as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun.

Mr. Lazarus has also served as the Chairman of the board of AbilityFirst, a provider of housing and vocational services to people with disabilities, and the Children's Law Center of Los Angeles, a nonprofit legal services organization that represents roughly 25,000 dependent youth in Southern California.

In addition to his work as an attorney, Mr. Lazarus is the author of the highly-acclaimed books Closed Chambers, about the inner workings of the Supreme Court, and Black Hill, White Justice, about the legal history of the Sioux Nation's land claims against the United States for compensation for the Black Hills.

This policy breakfast is not a fundraiser and space is limited, so please let us know immediately if you plan to attend by emailing Rosa Mendoza at rmendoza@rabengroup.com or calling 202-587-2870.
