The Hidden Employee Benefit Liabilities of Private Equity Investments

For a private investment fund, the employee benefit liabilities of any particular portfolio company may seem insignificant (relative to all of the fund's investments) and self-contained.

However, regulators and union-sponsored plans have taken the position that some types of employee benefit liabilities should extend on a "controlled group" basis. In such case, the benefit liabilities of one portfolio company could impact the assets of another portfolio company.

Please join us for a one-hour webinar discussing these types of potential hidden employee benefit liabilities and consequences for private equity funds and their portfolio company investments.

Topics to be discussed:

• Factors that determine a "controlled group"
• Current and past trends for controlled group determination
• Employee benefit plan liabilities and consequences
• Identifying and managing potential exposure to controlled group liabilities
