Client/Legal Alert
It is not uncommon for the Commission to attribute liability to a parent company for the breach of a subsidiary - even if the parent company had no knowledge of the violation and no longer controls the subsidiary.
The Commission is sending a clear message that private equity companies must be committed to ensuring antitrust compliance within their portfolio. Given the size of the potential fines, the profitability of the investment may be severely impacted if they are not. |
