Commenting on DLA Piper’s launch of the new practice area, Jeff Tsai said, “In recent years, state attorneys general have increasingly been among the most aggressive regulators in the US. During this pandemic, for example, state AGs across the country have brought a number of enforcement actions under both civil consumer protection and criminal statutes. This growth in state-level enforcement highlights the value DLA Piper can bring to clients through its broad array of experienced practitioners who have both served in state AG offices and handled significant cases before state AGs, giving our team a well-rounded, thoughtful perspective on the best way to handle state enforcement matters.â€


Scott Wilson commented, “Our platform enables us to provide clients comprehensive coverage for state AG-facing matters, across all sectors and areas of the law. Our team has the breadth and depth of knowledge to handle any area of state AG enforcement, as well as joint federal-state matters and parallel litigation by private plaintiffs.â€
