Private equity company Tavistock Group announced the retention of law firm Sidley Austin to conduct a compliance review, the same week that its billionaire founder pleaded guilty to U.S. insider trading charges.
Kenneth Polite Jr., the former head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Criminal Division, will lead the review, according to a press release Tuesday.

“We look forward to working with Tavistock and its new senior management team in ensuring a strong culture of compliance across all of its companies,” said Polite in the release.
