ABRY Partners and F+W Publications
Abstract
After acquiring F+W Publications from a rival private equity firm, ABRY Partners became increasingly convinced that they had been deceived by the sellers about the profitability of the company. ABRY must determine whether they were deliberately misled, what courses of action are available, and which they should pursue. Considerations include a mix of legal, ethical, and business issues.
