VENABLE FORMS STATE AG PRACTICE: Venable LLP has formed a state attorney general practice led by former Arkansas Attorney General and Sen. Mark Pryor and Kevin Turner, Alabama's former chief deputy attorney general who will join as counsel in the firm's D.C. office.

'State AGs have become among the most active and influential participants in government enforcement in recent years, a role that has grown more robust since the financial crisis, with a number of states forming special departments dedicated to cracking down on misconduct in banking, retail, consumer services and other sectors,' Pryor said in a statement. 'It's critical for businesses to have access to advisers with current first-hand understanding of the issues and processes that can drive an investigation or enforcement action by a state AG's office."
