As Patton Boggs looks to rebound from a poor financial showing in 2012, the Washington-based law firm will have to make do without $780,000 annually from Ecuador.

The firm has stopped lobbying for the country, according to a Foreign Agents Registration Act report the firm filed Friday with the U.S. Justice Department. Ecuador in 2009 hired Patton Boggs to "improve its reputational image and bilateral relations with the United States" under a $780,000-per-year contract, Justice Department records show.
