Since our last Insider, much of the policy and enforcement focus of the state Attorneys General has been centered on issues around the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest and election integrity. Here's a look at where we've been in 2020 and where we may be going in 2021.
In this edition of Cadwalader's State Attorney General Insider we update you on the activities of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and the Attorney General Alliance (formerly CWAG), as well as the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA).
Cadwalader has bolstered its white collar defense and investigations capabilities with the addition of former CFPB Senior Counsel Rachel Rodman and former U.S. Deputy Associate Attorney General Mark Grider. In addition, a market-leading litigation team from Boies Schiller – led by Nicholas Gravante and including Karen Dyer, Philip Iovieno and Lawrence Brandman – will be joining the firm.
