Akin Gump reveals ex-Rep. Smith's lobbying contracts

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 24, 2019

Retired Rep. Lamar Smith's (R-Texas) inaugural lobbying work includes hot-button issues from pipeline construction to trade with China.

So far, Akin Gump has disclosed that Smith is lobbying for Pfizer on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, U.S. trade relationship with China, and U.S.-European Union negotiation; mine-permitting and operation issues for the Alaska-based Pebble Limited Partnership mining operation; pipeline-construction issues for New York-based Otis Eastern Service; and livestock issues for Texas agriculture and technology company HerdX.

Smith was a member of Congress from 1987 until the end of last term, when he retired from Congress and joined Akin Gump as senior counsel.
