State Attorneys General

With state AGs taking an increasingly active role in high-stakes investigations, we help our clients to successfully engage with state AGs to protect their interests and understand their shifting risk profile.

Our lawyers support businesses in proactively building bridges with AG offices to enable them to understand their enforcement agenda and position them favorably for resolving any issues that may arise. We closely track developments at AG offices across the United States, mapping out key areas of risk for our clients and setting them up for success through proactive mitigation strategies.

Should our clients face investigations, inquiries, subpoenas or litigation, we work quickly to minimize the impact on their business. Whether the issue relates to consumer protection, environmental concerns, allegations of fraud, or anticompetitive behavior, we mount a swift defense strategy for our clients. We help them narrow the scope of subpoenas, negotiate settlements, and defend them robustly at trial.  

Our team includes former senior lawyers from AG offices around the country, with firsthand knowledge of internal decision-making processes and the investigative strategies of state attorneys general. Clients turn to Reed Smith for their high-stakes state AG matters and trust that our team knows when to negotiate and when to litigate. We are always determined to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
