Protection under Participation Clause Extended to Alleged Harrassers
September 01, 2003
Alleged harassers may not be retaliated against for participating in the investigation of harassment against them, according to the Second Circuit in a ruling of first impression. <i>Deravin v. Kerik</i>, 335 F.3d 195 (2d Cir. 2003).

    Insiders (and others) in the private equity business are accustomed to seeing a good deal of discussion ' academic and trade ' on the question of the appropriate methods of valuing private equity positions and securities which are otherwise illiquid.
