In this episode of Regulatory Oversight, Stephen Piepgrass welcomes Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement Partner Ryan Strasser and Williams & Jensen Partner Matt Hoekstra to discuss how law firms can work with firms like Matt’s on behalf of clients during congressional inquiries with parallel AG investigations or consumer litigation.
