His clients include a defense consulting firm, a manufacturer of home maintenance products, a clean energy company, a specialty chemical manufacturer, an international food production company, a specialty parts manufacturer and a restaurant franchise owner.

Josh’s experience also includes working with non-profit companies, helping them plan their formation, obtain tax-exempt status and consider their commercial interactions. He counsels for-profit and non-profit clients on compliance with campaign finance and election laws, including campaign speech and formation of PACs, Super PACS, issue advocacy organizations and other entities.
