Compensation for Representation to the Government By Others
RULE: After you leave Government service, you may not accept compensation for
representational services, which were provided by anyone while you were a Government employee,
before a Federal agency or court regarding particular matters in which the Government was a party
or had a substantial interest. This prohibition may affect personnel who leave the Government
and share in the proceeds of the partnership or business for representational services that
occurred before the employee terminated Federal service. (Examples: Lobbying, consulting, and
law firms). (18 U.S.C. 203).
(This rule does not apply to former enlisted military personnel.)
