According to a new document registered with the U.S. Department of Justice, the United National Movement opposition party has signed a contract with a lobbying firm in America.

The United National Movement entered into an agreement with Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP on July 7, paying USD 360,000 for six months of services. This sum covers all expenses except travel costs, which must be agreed in advance.

According to the document, the hired firm’s obligations include protecting the party’s interests before the United States government, particularly promoting democratic processes and free elections in Georgia.

The document states that the company plans to support the party’s diplomatic activities and deepen relations with the U.S. authorities.

Under the terms of the contract, services include advocacy before the government, developing relationship strategies, and raising awareness about democratic processes. The agreement also requires mandatory registration under the FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act), meaning the company will operate in accordance with U.S. legislation, with all information publicly accessible.

According to the document, the United National Movement’s contract was signed by Petre Tsiskarishvili.
