Office of the Attorney General

What Office of the Attorney General does

The Office of the Utah Attorney General is a constitutional state government office and the chief legal officer of the State of Utah, led by Attorney General Derek Brown. It is headquartered at 350 N. State Street, Salt Lake City, and operates as a single unified office structured around four core departments — Appellate, Civil, Criminal, and Public Protection — plus an Administration division. Its functional remit includes providing legal counsel to state agencies and public officials, representing the state in civil and criminal matters, defending Utah's laws and constitution, enforcing antitrust and consumer protection statutes, and operating specialized units such as ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children), Medicaid Fraud, Victim Services, and the SafeUT 24/7 crisis line.

The office does not operate a technology product; its "core technology" is recorded as not applicable. It does, however, maintain a substantial digital presence — an official website (attorneygeneral.utah.gov), active social media accounts (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube), an email newsletter ("Friend of the Court"), and a press-release and op-ed pipeline — used for constituent communication and public reporting on enforcement outcomes.

The office is funded exclusively through state government appropriations; services to Utah citizens are free at the point of use. It has no commercial revenue model, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no fundraising activity. Strategic activity is concentrated in multistate coalitions (involving between 17 and 48 states and territories), joint federal-state investigations with the U.S. Department of Justice, and high-profile enforcement matters in antitrust, data privacy, consumer protection, and public safety. Recent measurable outcomes include a $258,542 Utah share of a $29.6 million Glenmark Pharmaceuticals settlement and a $461,688 Utah share of an $18 million 23andMe bankruptcy settlement.
