Panoramic: Automotive and Mobility 2025
State Attorneys General (AGs) have emerged as some of the most influential regulators and litigators in the United States, leading multi-state investigations, shaping enforcement priorities, and bringing high-stakes litigation across industries. With their expanding authority, companies face unprecedented scrutiny in areas ranging from consumer protection and data privacy to artificial intelligence, healthcare, ESG, and financial services.
Hogan Lovells’ premier State AG practice offers clients a unique advantage: a dedicated team led by former elected and senior State AG officials, including the first and twice elected Attorney General of the District of Columbia. Our team combines decades of experience in both government and private sectors with deep relationships in State AG offices nationwide. We understand how State AGs set their agendas, how investigations unfold, and particularly, how to resolve disputes effectively before they escalate.
Our team uniquely approaches State AG matters with a litigation-first mindset, positioning clients for success whether through proactive engagement, negotiation, or courtroom advocacy. Our track record includes successfully defending companies in some of the most closely watched State AG investigations and lawsuits and helping clients avoid costly enforcement altogether.
For businesses navigating State AG scrutiny, whether a confidential inquiry or a multi-state coalition lawsuit, Hogan Lovells delivers practical strategies, trusted advocacy, and peace of mind.
