Post-acquisition disputes. Increasing compliance expectations. Growing anti-corruption risks. Private equity firms and their portfolio companies are struggling to balance the rising costs of compliance against expectations among investors accustomed to hefty returns of the past, along with the increasing costs of litigation surrounding purchase price and other post-acquisition disputes.
