Reed Smith Regulatory & Investigations reposted this
🎧Listen now: https://lnkd.in/enb6hXDN - Against the backdrop of a new administration, the introduction of new HSR rules in early 2025 will impose significant additional burdens and risks on deals subject to premerger notification in the United States. How will new DOJ and FTC leadership impact antitrust enforcement, can we expect the private equity industry to remain a key target under the new administration, and what can private equity firms do to prepare? In this episode of our Private Equity Spotlight series, private equity M&A partner Nick Gibson is joined by antitrust partners Michelle Mantine, Edward Schwartz and Christopher Brennan. #PrivateEquity #antitrust #DealmakerInsights

To enhance cybersecurity and mitigate national security risks, the U.S. Department of Defense recently issued a proposed rule requiring defense contractors to disclose foreign access to their source and computer code. As Kendra Perkins Norwood, Mitch Bailey, and Edrius Stagg, Esq. discuss in their latest alert, under this proposed new rule, contractors will need to maintain and update these disclosures throughout the contract term to ensure seamless compliance and avoid disruptions in their engagements. #GovernmentContracts #Regulatory #NationalSecurity #Cybersecurity

In the latest post in our #ProtestPOV series, Kendra Perkins Norwood, Mitch Bailey, Karla Perez Chacon, and Edrius Stagg, Esq. discuss the lessons learned from a recent decision where the GAO sustained a protest by DecisionPoint Corporation, ruling that the U.S. Air Force improperly deemed them ineligible for a cybersecurity contract due to a merger. This decision highlights how important it is for agencies to thoroughly assess how a transaction might affect the offeror’s proposal and overall eligibility to avoid an improper determination of ineligibility. #bidprotests #governmentcontracts #GAO
