About

Provided by Troutman Pepper Locke LLP

We handle investigations across all 50 states, combining strong legal skills with firsthand experience developed from resolving hundreds of matters with AGs to bring order to the chaos. Our state AG team is made up of more than 50 attorneys, including two former U.S. district attorneys, two former state solicitors general, three former deputy attorneys general, a former deputy solicitor general, former assistant deputy attorney general, and seven former assistant attorneys general, as well as attorneys with a variety of other governmental backgrounds and decades of experience representing clients in multiple industry sectors in state AG enforcement actions and litigation.

We maintain strong professional relationships with numerous state AGs, both Democratic and Republican, as well as AG organizations such as the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), Attorney General Alliance (AGA), Republican Attorney General Association (RAGA), and Democratic Attorney General Association (DAGA).

Our state AG team is integrated with a broader regulatory practice, providing clients an even deeper bench with experience with other regulators with whom state AGs often partner, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Health and Human Services (HHS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Justice (DOJ), and nongovernmental organizations like the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
