Who should hold the bag for employment liabilities when the portfolio company goes “belly-up”? The private equity firm, maybe.

In the world of private equity, vast sums of money are raised by private investors who pool their money into collective funds in order to acquire companies, i.e., a “portfolio company”, with the goal of eventually flipping the portfolio company at a significant profit.
