What are the restrictions on lobbyist?

Lobbyists face several restrictions to ensure transparency and integrity in their activities. They are often required to register with government bodies, disclose their clients, and report their lobbying expenditures. Additionally, many jurisdictions impose a "cooling-off" period after leaving public office, during which former officials cannot lobby their previous colleagues. Furthermore, lobbyists are prohibited from engaging in activities such as bribery or undue influence to sway decision-makers.
