Sara Razi, Global Co-Chair of the Firm’s Antitrust and Trade Regulation Practice, was featured in a Wall Street Journal Pro Private Equity Q&A titled, “How Private Equity Can Pass Antitrust Merger Reviews.” The article discussed the current environment for federal antitrust scrutiny of private equity investment in healthcare, and highlighted Sara’s work beating back government challenges to major healthcare mergers in recent years.
