Attorney Generals' offices press releases: on Corporations


Mark Brnovich: Opposes NASDAQ rule requiring board diversity

Brnovich is leading a coalition of 17 states to urge the court to overturn the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of a Nasdaq rule that promotes discrimination on boards. The Quota Rule requires boards of Nasdaq-listed companies to have a fixed-number requirement for women and either racial minorities or self-identified LGBTQ+ members. The proposed rule not only conflicts with the federal constitution but undermines state law.

Martha Coakley: Pushed anti-trust rules against Google and Yahoo

Last June, Google and Yahoo announced that they had entered into an $800 million four-year agreement under which Google ads would appear on Yahoo Search Results pages and on various Yahoo web properties and partner sites. Today, the two companies announced that the agreement has been terminated.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley issued the following statement regarding the announcement: "We are pleased that Google has announced that it has terminated its search advertising agreement with Yahoo. Our Antitrust Division worked with the U.S. Department of Justice and other states in an extensive investigation of this agreement. We believed that the agreement would have harmed competition in a critical and growing internet market and our office was prepared to file suit with the DOJ to block the agreement."

Shannon Liss-Riordan: Fought corporate America on behalf of workers

I've stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our waitresses, truck drivers, firefighters, janitors, and gig economy workers, helping them recoup hundreds of millions of dollars that corporate America stole from them. We won cases that not only put money back in employees' pockets but pushed our legal system to fairly and equally serve the people. When the system couldn't be pushed, we broke new legal ground and set precedents that delivered victories for workers in Massachusetts and around the country.
