Join Free →This panel seeks to give practitioners and recruiters a place to express their concerns as well as to learn more about ins and outs of Private Equity and its impact on the field. We hope attendees will gain perspectives through hearing (divergent) ideas, which are based on first-hands experiences navigating the PE/ABA landscape. Some concerns shared in the community include the perception that PE is a profit-driven approach that places financial pressure on providers (e.g., billable hours), increases costs and billing practices, lacks transparency, negatively impacts small businesses and the industry as a whole (e.g., trickling directly down to our clients).
