Episode 11 of the Ad Law Tool Kit Show, "State Attorney General Investigations," is now available. Listen here, or search for it in your favorite podcast player.
State attorneys general (AGs) are the chief legal officers of their states, and their areas of concern are vast.

Compliance with laws, prompt complaint resolution, and proactive engagement with AGs are crucial.
In this episode, I talk to former Venable partner Alex Megaris about how businesses facing AG inquiries should retain documents, negotiate confidentiality agreements, and focus efforts on smaller AG committees in multi-state actions to manage these probes effectively.
