A lobbyist’s job primarily includes researching and understanding issues being considered by lawmakers. This involves gathering information, analyzing legislation, and communicating the interests of their clients to legislators. While lobbyists may also build political connections and advocate for their clients, ethical lobbying should not involve giving gifts in exchange for support, as this can lead to conflicts of interest and is often regulated or restricted by law. Lobbyists are typically required to register with the government, but they do not need a specialized license like attorneys do. Practice of law and defending clients in court is not part of a lobbyist's role.
