The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Handbook
Wiley Rein has published the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Issues Handbook, which reviews the rules that govern whether an entity should register with the FARA Registration Unit of the U.S. Department of Justice, the registration process, the obligations of registered agents, and the penalties that may be imposed for FARA violations. Any person who engages in political activities on behalf of a foreign principal will likely be required to register under FARA.
