WASHINGTON, D.C. — Elias Law Group (ELG) is thrilled to announce that Patrick Gaspard has joined the firm as a Senior Advisor. Gaspard, who previously served as President of the Center for American Progress, President of the Open Society Foundations, United States Ambassador to South Africa, and Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee, joins the firm at a critical moment.

In his capacity as Senior Advisor, Gaspard will strengthen ELG’s relationships with partners across the pro-democracy movement and advise the firm’s leadership on emerging voter protection issues.
“Our democracy is facing unprecedented threats from the Trump administration and the Republican Party, and this is an all-hands-on-deck moment for Elias Law Group and our Democratic and progressive clients,” said Marc Elias. “Patrick Gaspard has spent his career building coalitions that can win tough fights, and his expertise and strategic counsel will be invaluable to the firm as we do everything we can to help Democrats win, citizens vote, and progressives make change. We are thrilled to welcome Patrick to Elias Law Group and look forward to working with him.”
“Elias Law Group is on the front lines of the fight for free and fair elections, and the firm has been an indispensable resource for Democrats and progressives across the country,” said Patrick Gaspard. “With the midterm elections just weeks away, I am honored to join this team at such a consequential moment for our democracy.”
