State Attorneys General
The role of state attorneys general is unique among elected
offices in the US—serving as their state's chief legal officer,
investigative powerhouse, consumer protection arbiter and enforcer,
prosecutor, multi-jurisdictional litigator and policy advocate.
This broad scope of influence and impact has a substantial effect
on the profile and business strategy for corporations, nonprofits
and industry sectors. SNR Denton offers our clients a proactive
team with direct experience in managing the nuances of an attorney
general matter, spotting trends ahead of potential investigations,
responding to investigative inquiries and meeting the challenges of
litigation or a proposed deal when law, policy and politics
converge.
Our cross-disciplinary approach leverages the talents of our
transactional, litigation and regulatory teams across practices and
sectors—allowing us to offer clients a differentiated and
integrated capability for these types of highly sensitive matters.
Our deep subject matter expertise in legal specialties frequently
subject to attorney general inquiry, including those specific to
financial services regulation, insurance, consumer protection,
antitrust and data privacy issues, positions us to best defend the
products or practices at issue with sophisticated legal and policy
judgment.
Many of the most significant industry-wide reforms enacted over
the past decade and encompassing a wide variety of industries—from
financial services to investment banking to insurance, technology
and consumer products—were driven by attorney general
investigations, litigations and settlements. SNR Denton lawyers
have experience navigating the litigation landscape resulting from
multi-state investigations across our core sectors.
Our team enjoys the bipartisan leadership and strategic vision
of two former attorneys general, and the experience of well known
and highly regarded former deputy attorneys general, assistant
attorneys general and chiefs of staff from some of the most active
attorney general offices. Blending this expertise with our
colleagues who practice on matters of state attorney general focus
across our eight sectors, our novel approach integrates in client
service a team of lawyers and professionals from multiple
disciplines.
