WilmerHale‘s burgeoning state attorneys general practice supports an array of household names in tech, financial services, and life sciences in establishing relationships with AG offices across the country, anticipating issues that could trigger scrutiny, and coordinating and representing in multistate investigations. Extensive litigation experience is coupled with a full-service offering extending to regulatory counseling and subpoena responses. Leadership of the team is shared jointly between former chief of staff to the New York AG Brian Mahanna, who is frequently retained on complex investigations, corporate crises, and regulatory scrutiny matters, and former chief deputy AG at the Wisconsin Department of Justice Paul Connell, whose addition to the group in March 2023 expands its capabilities in the energy, tech, consumer protection, telecoms, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals spaces.
