Pl. Possessive of brothers-in-law
My brothers-in-law's (not: brothers-in-laws' or brothers'-in-laws') firm sank financially.
The pl. possessive of brothers-in-law is brothers-in-law's, correct?
What about the pl. possessive of attorney generals?
Would it be:
Pl. Possessive
The attorney generals' firm sank financially. (more than one attorney general)
The attorneys general's firm sank financially. (more than one attorney general)
Sing. Possessive
The attorney general's firm sank financially. (one attorney general)
Thanks.
