The A|E industry is awash in private equity firms, some with long-standing investments and partners in the industry, while others are new firms drawn by the lure of government spending on infrastructure. With both new and old money snapping up firms, what is the traditional employee-owned firm to do? This program explains the differences in the benefits of ownership in private equity-backed firms vs. traditional employee-owned firms, how private equity changes the competitive landscape in the A|E industry, and how employee-owned firms can distinguish themselves when recruiting and retaining key staff.

This session was part of the EDConnect23 Virtual Conference.
