In this episode of Regulatory Oversight, Clay Friedman, co-leader of the firm’s State Attorneys General (AGs) practice, welcomes back Brian Kane, executive director of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG). They discuss the significant transitions and reforms at NAAG over the past two years, including the implementation of a bipartisan leadership structure and a comprehensive management review.

Clay and Brian also highlight several of NAAG’s recent accomplishments, as well as the upcoming NAAG Spring Symposium in Nashville, TN. Key topics at the symposium will include consumer protection, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and disaster preparedness.

The conversation then shifts to the challenges of keeping up with technological advancements and the importance of continuous education for AGs and their offices. They also discuss the strategies NAAG employs to train and integrate new members and the collaboration between NAAG and AG Alliance.
