Conor Reidy Discusses New Antitrust Law in Washington State with Private Funds CFO
Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy spoke with Private Funds CFO to discuss the first-of-its-kind antitrust law in Washington state and what this means for private fund managers. Under the new law, which will take effect July 27, any company required to file for Federal Trade Commission merger review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act that does sufficient business in Washington must also file for review with Washington’s attorney general. Firms will have to file in Washington if their principal place of business is in Washington, if the in-state value of the merger is at least 20 percent of the federal Hart-Scott threshold, or if at least one firm’s annual net sales in Washington reach 20 percent of the federal threshold.

What Is Tracking and Monitoring Law?
Tracking and monitoring law is related to the rights of individuals and often addressed through state legislation. Tracking law looks at when and how individuals can be tracked through GPS devices and location services. Employers have the right to track company vehicles through GPS devices but cannot track an employee’s vehicle in many states without employee consent. (A written policy on tracking and monitoring may be required, with the policies stating a business purpose for the activities.) Tracking apps on mobile phones can continue to broadcast an employee’s location even after work hours. That is why companies must ensure they are satisfying employees’ expectations of privacy.
