Locke Lord lobbyist Mark Siegel is gearing up for a stroll down the Emmy Awards’ red carpet.

The 65-year-old Siegel is not a lawyer, but has a Ph.D. in political behavior from Northwestern University and is a partner with Locke Lord Strategies, the firm’s lobbying arm. He is also a producer of the documentary film Bhutto, which was nominated for an Emmy Award in the News & Documentary category last month. The film, which won a Peabody Award in May, explores the life of Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani prime minister who, in 1988, became the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state. She was assassinated in 2007.
