Jacquot Quoted States’ Use of Private Attorneys

Partner Joe Jacquot was quoted in a Bloomberg BNA article, “AG LLP? When States Turn to Private Attorneys,” on November 3, 2015. The article discussed the increasing amount of states turning to private attorneys instead of their attorneys general in U.S. Supreme Court cases. Jacquot, a former Florida Deputy Attorney General, noted that there are several situations when outside counsel is beneficial, for example, when cases have a national significance, states are more likely to hire a Supreme Court specialist.
