State Attorneys General
State Attorneys General (State AGs) are becoming increasingly aggressive in their enforcement activities, oftentimes outpacing U.S. Attorney’s Offices. Dykema’s State Attorneys General Practice has deep experience helping clients craft effective legal strategies in the face of State AG investigations. Those strategies are not one-size-fits all, so Dykema attorneys take a deep dive into their clients’ industries and businesses to craft a unique approach for each client.
Dykema’s State Attorneys General practice group boasts a roster of seasoned attorneys who’ve spent years playing key roles in government enforcement agencies across the U.S. They regularly practice in front of State AG’s offices, including in multi-state AG investigations. Our team is committed to cultivating the relationships we’ve built with these State AGs, enabling us to recognize compliance issues proactively and to advise on a path forward should an investigation or litigation arise.
Collectively, Dykema’s State AG practice brings decades of high-profile experience to the table. We understand the nuanced and unique authority wielded by State AGs because we’ve been in the trenches with them, and we bring that experience to bear for each of our clients.
Specifically, our team has represented clients in:
Antitrust
In the antitrust space, Dykema has counseled clients in multi-state AG civil antitrust class actions. Our team has assisted clients with complying with Civil Investigative Demands, responding to complaints, and negotiating claim dismissal or consent decrees.
Financial Services
In the financial services industry, Dykema’s team regularly defends clients facing State AG investigations into their consumer-facing practices, which State AG’s often misperceive as predatory or otherwise impermissible.
Privacy
Dykema’s cybersecurity and data privacy team routinely handles matters arising from State AG data breach notices, including the resulting AG investigations.
Healthcare and DSO
In the healthcare space, Dykema regularly defends DSOs and MSOs and individual dentists and physicians in, among other things, Medicaid and Medicare fraud investigations, false advertising, corporate practice of dentistry and medicine issues, and deceptive trade practices cases.
