On January 14, 2025, KKR & Co. Inc., a prominent global investment firm, initiated legal action against U.S. antitrust authorities, including the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. This legal move comes in response to investigations into KKR’s compliance with premerger notification requirements under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act for transactions in 2021 and 2022. KKR’s complaint challenges the constitutional validity of the antitrust authorities’ interpretations and penalties under the Act.

KKR, asserting its cooperation over past years, plans a vigorous defense, citing governmental overreach and mischaracterization of its actions.
