With Democrats gaining control of the Senate, the Biden Administration has an easier path to implementing its policy initiatives. This alert highlights potential changes and subsequent impacts on private equity firms in the areas of tax, international trade and crossborder M&A, antitrust, environmental, credit markets and SEC regulation and enforcement. While the potential for additional tax burdens and expected increase in regulation and enforcement activity in all areas may put a damper on the private equity market, this may be offset by increased stability and predictability in the political landscape, growth in certain investment sectors (e.g., ESG) and fewer barriers to new international trade activity.

What our clients say
"I find the Lexology service invaluable.
In common with many in-house lawyers, I have limited access to (and a limited budget for) resources and rely on receiving know-how from friends and contacts in private practice. Lexology is great as it provides a daily email with the headlines in all the areas of law that I am interested in (which are all relevant to me, as I was able to choose which areas I was interested in at registration), with links to articles from a wide variety of sources.
I tend to scroll through the daily email when I am having my lunch, reading the headlines and descriptions of the articles, and click on any items that are of interest to me - that way, I feel like I am kept 'in the loop' with legal developments.
In addition to the daily email, I find the articles themselves very helpful - they set out the legal principle but most importantly, they 'boil it down' to the practical implications. When I am doing legal research, I also find the archive search function very helpful.
I have recommended the service to quite a few friends who have also found it very helpful."
