In the past decade, state Attorneys General (AGs) have become significantly more active. Beyond enforcing consumer protection laws, they're now addressing broader public policy issues through strategic lawsuits. Republican AGs are publicly challenging companies that excessively promote ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies, while Democratic AGs are focusing on companies they believe aren't doing enough in these areas.

At a recent National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) meeting, an antitrust expert proposed criminal prosecutions against senior executives to deter companies from simply considering fines as part of the cost of breaking state laws. This approach aims to be more impactful than traditional civil prosecutions against the company itself.
