2023 State Attorney General Webinar Series
Join Kelley Drye’s State Attorney General Ad Law Team for the 2023 State Attorney General Webinar Series.
Featuring guest speakers from attorney general offices (AGOs) from around the country, the first half of each webinar will focus on the guest AGO’s state consumer protection authority, including some of the unique and varied aspects of their consumer laws. That will be followed by a topical discussion, largely driven by the priorities of the guest AGO.
See below for the next few month’s webinars, and if you missed the January program that featured the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office, here is an article about the webinar.
Sign up, invite a colleague, and hear from attorney general offices from around the country.
Upcoming Webinars in This Series
March 23, 2023 - 3:00 pm ET
Ohio Attorney General’s Office - Robocalls and Veterans/Military Initiatives
Guest Speakers:
- Attorney General Dave Yost
- Melissa Wright, Chief, Consumer Protection Section
Please join us for a webinar featuring special guest speakers Attorney General Dave Yost and Melissa Wright, Chief of the Consumer Protection Section, as they join Kelley Drye State Attorneys General practice Co-Chair Paul Singer, Special Counsel Abby Stempson, and Senior Associate Beth Chun for discussion and practical information on the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and its state consumer protection laws, as well as robocall and military/veterans initiatives from the state attorney general perspective. The Ohio AG’s office will shed light on how states use consumer protection laws to hold companies accountable for both potential roles in illegal calls and consumer protection violations affecting or targeting veterans/military.
Attorney General Dave Yost and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have been taking action to combat every link in the robocall chain. General Yost has established a special Robocall Enforcement Unit to investigate violators, take aggressive enforcement action, and push legislation to expand the state’s authority over robocalls. He has also created a website to report robocallers and sued groups alleged to have made illegal calls hoping to steal money or valuable information from Ohioans, and companies that may have supported such groups. In addition, General Yost is serving as this year’s President of the National Association of Attorneys General. Each year, the NAAG president identifies an issue to raise public awareness, and General Yost has selected Serving Those Who Serve, which focuses on veterans and military issues. We look forward to hearing from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office on both of these initiatives.
