Coast-to-coast state AG investigation and litigation defense
Our coast-to-coast litigators resolve countrywide investigations and lawsuits brought by state AGs, including joint federal-state matters. We maintain relationships with key state AGs and their offices. However, our practice is not just about knowing the right people. We are prepared to defend you in state AG investigations or litigation as well
State Attorneys General (AGs) are among the most aggressive regulators in the country. In addition to continued focus on traditional consumer protection, state AGs have expanded their enforcement to involve environmental concerns, antitrust, cryptocurrency and fintech matters, and data privacy issues.
As one of only five law firms in the country to be ranked by Chambers USA among the top nationwide State AG practices, we draw upon our multi-disciplinary perspective when handling state AG investigations and litigation.
We know how state AGs work because we have held key leadership positions in these offices. Our team includes senior officials from the California and New York state AG offices, and federal officials (including assistant US attorneys from 15+ jurisdictions across the country, trial attorneys and senior policy officials from Main Justice), as well as key personnel from the Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, US Department of Transportation, the US Food and Drug Administration, US Department of Labor and the Environmental Protection Agency.

We will guide you through essential pre-emptive planning and preparation involving risk mitigation in the face of a single or multi-state AG investigation or enforcement action. Our team advises on a number of areas that are top-of-mind to state regulators, such as environmental concerns (PFAS, plastics, heavy metals, recycling), alleged contaminants, and cryptocurrency.
We maintain strong ties with AGs across the country by interacting with them regularly in such organizations as the National Association of Attorneys General, the Attorney General Alliance/Conference of Western Attorneys General and other key national organizations.
