A seasoned team of litigators and enforcement attorneys form the backbone of Ropes & Gray LLP‘s state attorneys general offering, assisting clients with navigating the complexities of the regulatory and enforcement environment. In conjunction with corporate, litigation, and regulatory experts from across the firm’s antitrust, data privacy, cybersecurity, life sciences, and healthcare groups, the team regularly represents clients in single and multistate investigations, litigation, and enforcement actions. Leading the charge are Chicago-based former federal healthcare fraud prosecutor Laura Hoey, Boston’s healthcare and life sciences expert John Bueker, and financial services specialist Gregg Weiner in New York. In Boston, James Dowden fields extensive experience counseling clients in enforcement proceedings and bet-the-company investigations, Andrew O’Connor specializes in fraud and antitrust, and Amy Roy primarily services financial services firms, investment advisers and mutual funds. Chong Park, who focuses on antitrust, consumer protection, and data privacy, is based in Washington DC, while healthcare veteran Stephen Warnke, and business, class action, and antitrust litigator Jane Willis operate out of New York. Former Assistant US Attorney at the US Attorney’s office in Los Angeles Ryan Weinstein joined the group as counsel in June 2023 from Covington & Burling LLP, increasing its capacity in healthcare, tech, sports, and financial services.
