Overview
The National Law Journal has named Steptoe’s Jason Abel to its 2015 DC Rising Stars list. The list features 40 lawyers under the age of 40 who the editors describe as “some of the most accomplished young attorneys in the DC area.”
In a special report published on September 14, the editors write that Mr. Abel has drawn on his four years as a lawyer on Capitol Hill to help expand Steptoe’s campaign finance and political law practice and advocates for clients before federal regulatory agencies and Congress, where he served as personal counsel to Senator Chuck Schumer, and then as chief counsel for the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. Mr. Abel has also helped build the firm’s vetting and government ethics practice, which provides extensive experience in guiding individuals through all stages of the appointment and confirmation process.
