    Inside State AG: A conversation with James Tierney - Part 2

    In the second half of this high-stakes podcast, Professor James Tierney warns that the era of state AGs simply "tagging along" on federal settlements is over. Using the Ticketmaster litigation as a primary case study, Professor Tierney explains why ignoring the independent power of state enforcement is a fatal corporate mistake. Hogan Lovells’ Karl Racine and Jason Downs sit down with the "man who wrote the curriculum" to discuss why the office of Attorney General has become the most consequential seat in American law.

    Inside State AG: A conversation with James Tierney: Part 1

    While the federal government often grabs the headlines, the real regulatory "teeth" in America belongs to the State Attorneys General. This year, with 31 AG seats on the ballot, we are facing a historic level of leadership change—one that will decide who holds the subpoena power to halt global mergers, sue federal agencies, and dictate how corporations operate within state lines. In this episode of A Matter of Law, Karl Racine, former DC Attorney General, and Jason Downs, former Chief Deputy AG, who together co-head Hogan Lovells’ State Attorney's General Practice, sit down with the man who literally wrote the curriculum on the AG office: Professor James Tierney.
