BCLP Lawyer in ‘Wall Street Journal’ on Antitrust Regulation of the Private-Equity Industry
Oct 01, 2021BCLP Partner Philip Bartz was quoted Sept. 30 by The Wall Street Journal concerning new federal antitrust enforcers who are tightening up regulation of the private-equity industry, putting a spotlight on ways that buyout firms might be affecting competition. It is not clear how effectively the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can take on the private-equity industry. Attorneys say any challenge to a private-equity deal could lead to a legal fight. “Just because you have a new enforcer who says you should turn back the clock to Teddy Roosevelt and trustbusting, it remains to be seen whether they will have any traction with the courts,” Bartz said.
