Jim Deeken Authors Law360 Article on Private Credit Regulation

Law360 has published an article titled, “Financial Meltdown Fears Don't Warrant Private Credit Regs,” authored by Akin investment management partner Jim Deeken. The article examines concerns that the growth of the private credit market could pose systemic risks similar to those seen during the 2008 financial crisis. 

Jim argues that such comparisons may be overstated, emphasizing the diversification of private credit across industries and geographies. He also addresses potential regulatory implications, noting that increased oversight could unintentionally constrain capital availability and affect broader lending markets.
