Steven Barth Discusses Regulatory Hurdles for Strategic Buyers
15 October 2024
S&P Global
Foley & Lardner LLP partner Steven Barth commented on the regulatory hurdles strategic buyers face in the S&P Global article, “Private equity fuels TMT M&A for 2nd consecutive quarter in Q3.”
“We live in a current regulatory environment where we can no longer provide reliable advance advice to our clients about whether a deal will likely receive regulatory approval,” Barth explained, highlighting that consequentially, transactional attorneys are emphasizing caution when advising clients.
“We like to be right. And on deals that never get submitted for approval, we’re always right,” Barth added.
Barth’s commentary also appeared in the S&P Global article, “Private equity deals regain momentum; buyout shops lead TMT sector M&A.”
