Description

Businesses facing high-risk state or federal regulatory investigations or litigation and parallel consumer actions are often asked to provide highly confidential information to state and federal regulators. Protecting confidential information to the maximum extent possible under these circumstances requires an understanding of the unwritten rules of these proceedings.

Practitioners can also gain actionable information and invaluable discovery from government entities using state and federal public record laws. Adept use of these laws invariably leads to more educated pre-litigation decisions and defense strategies. Not infrequently, the information also reveals business intelligence that demands a response.

Listen as this experienced panel discusses defending clients interacting with and being investigated by state Attorneys General and other regulators and how to gain valuable information from public records requests at the state and federal levels.
