Conor Reidy Discusses State Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Laws with Private Funds CFO

Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy was quoted in a Private Funds CFO article discussing new antitrust pre-merger notification laws enacted by the states of Colorado and Washington.

However, outsourced activities must still meet any regulatory requirements of the government, whether the outsourced technology services are in the U.S. or overseas. The Federal Trade Commission states that U.S. companies who use outsourcing vendors are still legally responsible for the business performed by the outsourced firm.
