    Hi Eddie. From an Antitrust perspective, our PE offering is unique for the following reasons: (i) We are able to offer PE Houses a "full service" AT offering i.e. we can perform all routine multi-jurisdictional analysis for transactions (as K&E does) while also having the in-house capability to...
