Wray offered clients legal advice at a 2015 forum on the ExxonMobil investigations

A number of state attorneys general continue to lead the charge on investigating ExxonMobil's record on climate change, most notably Maura Healey of Massachusetts and Eric Schneiderman of New York.



The December 2015 forum, "From Climate Change to Anti-Corruption: The Energy Sector in the Crosshairs of Government Enforcement," that was hosted by King & Spalding was largely framed as a response to these investigations.

Wray topped the list of speakers, which also included several other attorneys from his firm.

A January of 2016 Client Alert, "State Attorneys General Investigations and Enforcement: What to Expect in 2016," sent by King & Spalding confirms that the forum:

"…discussed New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's investigation into ExxonMobil's securities disclosures and their connection to climate change issues, among other recent energy-related investigations."

Wray's advice at the December 2015 forum was quoted in the same Client Alert that King & Spalding sent out the following month:

"When you see a competitor announce in their disclosure that they've got an investigation, whether it's with a state AG, the SEC, the Justice Department or all of the above, immediately start trying to figure out as much as you can about what they are dealing with and start asking yourself questions internally: Is there any chance at all we could have a problem like that since they're in the same industry in the same place? Is there something we ought to do... so that we don't end up being in the crosshairs?"

"In this way, companies can identify areas where the government is likely to investigate and proactively move to improve and reinforce compliance in those critical areas," the client alert then concluded, based on Wray's remarks.

But Wray's law firm later offered clients the ability to "vigorously contest" such investigations

Spalding & King soon followed up with an April 2016 Client Alert, "State AGs Announce Climate Change Investigations," that closed with a sales pitch:

"King & Spalding has been at the forefront in representing clients who have found
