The Cozen O’Connor State AG Group was one of the first teams dedicated to representing clients in AG investigations and litigation, and counseling clients on state AG matters. Our attorneys work at the cutting edge of issues of critical importance to AGs, including antitrust, cybersecurity, data privacy, consumer protection, the environment, and labor laws. We serve a wide range of clients, from nimble startups to Fortune 50 companies. With more than 40 years’ experience, and backed by the resources of an AmLaw Global 100 firm, we help companies analyze and interpret AGs’ interests and understand how those interests inform their enforcement and policy priorities. We actively engage in dialogue with AG offices and regularly attend AG events and meetings to advocate on our clients’ behalf. Our team is nationally recognized for our deep understanding of how every AG office operates and our relationships in the AG community. When AGs focus their attention on a company’s activities or business practices, we advise preemptively on how to avoid becoming the target of an investigation, and should an investigation be launched, help to achieve expeditious (and ideally non-public) resolutions. Our experienced team of litigators also represents clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny on a wide range of issues, particularly those involving consumer protection, antitrust, and data privacy. We are a one stop shop for advice on the joint or parallel actions of federal regulators and AGs.
