Major Law Firm Becomes Lobbyist for NFL Team in Indiana
January 17, 2026 - 03:13
An application submitted by Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP was finalized on Wednesday, indicating the firm's new role as a lobbyist at the Indiana Statehouse. This registration comes as the firm prepares to represent CBFC Development LLC, an affiliate of the National Football League franchise, the Chicago Bears.
The move highlights the growing intersection of sports and politics, as professional teams increasingly seek to influence legislation that may impact their operations and community presence. Lobbying efforts could focus on various issues, including funding for stadium improvements, community engagement initiatives, and legislative support for sports-related activities.
The registration with the Indiana Lobby Registration Commission marks a significant step for the law firm, which is known for its extensive legal expertise across multiple sectors. As the Bears explore opportunities in Indiana, the strategic representation aims to ensure that the interests of the franchise are effectively communicated and advocated within the state's legislative framework.
