Before retiring in 2024, Roger Witten built a distinguished career advising clients on matters at the intersection of law, public policy and government integrity. Drawing on formative experience as Assistant Special Prosecutor on the Watergate Special Prosecution Force in 1973 and 1974, he represented institutions and organizations navigating sensitive regulatory, enforcement and governance issues. His work reflected a long‑standing focus on public accountability and the legal frameworks that support democratic processes.

Mr. Witten was extensively involved in efforts to strengthen election law and campaign finance oversight. He chaired the Twentieth Century Fund Working Group on Campaign Finance Litigation, which published Buckley Stops Here: Loosening the Judicial Stranglehold on Campaign Finance Reform (1998). He also served as Chairman of the Election Law Committee within the ABA’s Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice. Earlier in his career, he served as Counsel to Common Cause and later as counsel for Democracy 21, on whose board he sat—work that underscored his enduring commitment to public‑interest advocacy.
