CAPITAL MARKET AND SEQURITIES

Our capital markets and securities legal practice involves advising underwriters, issuers and buyers in both public and private securities offerings and drafting the appropriate documentation relating thereto. We possess significant experience in assisting companies in all phases of the corporate life cycle from assisting companies in formation and closely-held companies in early-stage capital raising, to helping companies make the transition to public status and advising on the requirements of public ownership. The scope of work includes advising on transactions such as:

• initial public offerings (IPOs),
• secondary public offerings,
• bond issues,
• private placements,
• rights offers

We maintain a very strong working relationship with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which enables us to effectively and efficiently take clients through the SEC review process. The industry focus of our capital markets lawyers enables us to structure and execute transactions in order to maximize client goals, including developing innovative transactional structures.
