Lu Reyes and John West, members of Troutman Pepper Locke’s Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement practice, will participate in an upcoming CLE webinar with myLawCLE. They will discuss the difference in approaches between state attorney general (AG) investigations and federal enforcement actions.

Participants will learn how these differences can influence the legal standards applied by state AGs and federal agencies, and will explore the procedural dynamics and resolution outcomes. While analyzing the implications for businesses and individuals facing enforcement actions, the panelists will provide practical strategies for navigating both.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Procedural dynamics: Understand the differences in procedural frameworks and how they affect investigation strategies.
  • Legal standards: Explore the varying evidentiary requirements and burdens of proof.
  • Possible outcomes: Discuss the implications of penalties, settlements, and litigation risks.
  • Resolution oriented strategies: Understand what historically may drive state AG cases vs. federal actions; learn effective compliance and communication tactics for dealing with both enforcement authorities.

The webinar is complimentary for Troutman Pepper Locke clients and contacts.
