State Attorneys General
State Attorneys General
We guide clients through some of their most sensitive and high-stakes matters, including investigations, litigation, and compliance issues driven by state attorneys general. These actions can be initiated by a single attorney general, coordinated across multiple states or pursued jointly with federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Our State Attorneys General (AG) practice is led by former Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper, whose eight-year tenure provides our team with unparalleled insight into the priorities, processes and enforcement trends of AG offices nationwide. Drawing on Bob’s leadership, our team offers strategic counsel to companies facing reputational, operational and financial risks in complex matters.
We regularly assist clients in responding to investigative demands, negotiating settlements and defending against enforcement actions across a range of industries. Our experience spans from behind-the-scenes advocacy and early-stage resolution to full-scale litigation with billions of dollars at stake.
Areas of Focus
- Antitrust & Competition: Advising on state AG-led merger reviews and joint enforcement actions with the DOJ and FTC.
- Consumer Financial Services: Defending companies in state AG investigations and lawsuits involving advertising and marketing, debt collection policies, lending practices, consumer credit and other areas.
- Cybersecurity & Privacy: Representing clients on AG-led privacy enforcement and compliance, and data breach response.
- Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG): Navigating multi-state claims, regulatory disputes and AG enforcement involving ESG and environmental matters ranging from air and water pollution to hazardous waste.
- Healthcare Disputes: Representing clients on healthcare fraud, managed care, false claims matters led by state AGs, as well as compliance.
- Labor & Employment: Counseling clients on labor and employment issues that increasingly fall under state AG scrutiny, including wage and hour, diversity and inclusion programs, and traditional labor.
- Monitorships: Serving as credible, experienced monitors in matters involving state AGs and other enforcement agencies.
- Securities Enforcement: Representing companies and individuals in investigations and enforcement actions brought by state securities regulators and AGs.
- Social Media & Technology: Counseling companies on emerging state AG scrutiny of social media platforms, digital advertising practices and other areas.
What Sets Us Apart
- Trusted Insight from a Former State AG Leader: Bob Cooper, our State AG practice chair, served as Tennessee Attorney General from 2006 to 2014 and remains a respected figure with deep ties across the AG community. Bob’s work as Attorney General resulted in more than $340 million in consumer recoveries and penalties. He brings firsthand insight into how state investigations unfold, having led high-stakes, multistate enforcement efforts including a landmark $25 billion mortgage servicing settlement.
- Multistate & Federal Coordination Experience: We have successfully handled matters involving dozens of AGs, often in coordination with the FTC, DOJ and other regulators. Our team has been at the center of high-profile settlements with companies like Skechers, LifeLock and Airborne, and has advised on joint enforcement actions involving issues ranging from deceptive health claims to digital marketing.
- Strategic, Cross-Disciplinary Counsel: Our State AG practice integrates seamlessly with our nationally recognized teams in Antitrust, Compliance & Government Investigations, Healthcare, Privacy & Data Security, and Securities Litigation.
