King & Spalding e-Learn: State AG Investigations, Enforcement and Collaboration: What You Need To Know

State Attorneys General continue to assume a larger and more consequential role in investigating and regulating businesses and industries throughout the United States. Moreover, state Attorneys General now routinely combine efforts and resources on multistate investigations - often working hand in hand with the Department of Justice or other federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission—or employing high-profile private practitioners to serve as special assistant Attorneys General for certain matters. The collective effect is that state Attorneys General have raised the stakes for companies and entire industries, both in terms of the level of activity and potential risks and damages.

• What factors influence an AG's decision to investigate
• Recent targets of state AG investigations
• What to expect during an AG investigation
• How to influence the outcome of a state AG investigation or inquiry
• Practical e-discovery issues
• Emerging issues and trends – student loans & drug pricing
