State AGs And Consumer Protection: What We Learned From … Nevada

In a recent webinar hosted by Kelley Drye, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford and Chief Deputy of Consumer Protection Mark Krueger shared valuable insights into best practices for engaging with the office, Nevada's consumer protection laws, and key priorities of the office. Here's a recap of what we learned.

"It Is Not Who You Know, But Who Knows You" - Engagement with State AGs

AG Ford referenced the familiar saying, "It's not what you know, but who you know," and offered his own perspective: "It's not who you know, but who knows you." He explained that if he hears about a company engaging in questionable practices, he'll ask his Consumer Protection Bureau Chief to look into the matter without the benefit of having additional knowledge about the company. However, if he's familiar with the company and its practices are understood, he may view the issue as an isolated incident and will have the benefit of a direct contact to reach out to and get clarification.
