Foley Hoag Webinar on State AG Investigations

Foley Hoag LLP, a prominent law firm, organized a webinar titled "State AG Investigations: How to Fight Back!" on September 27, 2017. This 60-minute session was designed exclusively for business leaders and in-house counsel, featuring insights from former Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and Partner Dean Richlin.

The webinar addressed several critical topics, including the ExxonMobil counter-attack strategy, approaches to situations where the Attorney General hires private attorneys on a contingency fee basis, the extent of state AG authority over false claims and unfair trade practices, methods to engage "friendly" AGs, and an overview of the tools and tactics commonly employed by AGs, along with strategies to effectively counter them.

This event was particularly beneficial for business leaders and in-house counsel seeking to understand and navigate the complexities of state AG investigations. Attendees gained valuable knowledge on proactive measures and defense strategies to protect their organizations from potential legal challenges initiated by state attorneys general.
