Contact:
For its article “Music venues turn to K Street with industry under threat,” The Hill quoted Akin Gump public law and policy co-head Brian Pomper on the firm’s representation of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) before Congress on a variety of issues, including tax relief, unemployment insurance, mortgage and tax forbearance and safe reopening guidelines.
Pomper noted that if the government “doesn’t help during this existential crisis, most venues will likely fold. But if these mom and pop businesses get assistance, they’ll return as the economic engine of their communities.”
The Hill notes that the firm’s client team includes policy partners Clete Willems, former Trump administration trade advisor, and Arshi Siddiqui, former senior advisor to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
