Capital Markets and Securities Transactions

“Our clients expect expert advice, attention to detail and an experienced partner who will help them comply with the complex federal and state laws related to raising capital.”

For our clients who are raising debt or equity capital in public or private offerings, we offer experienced counsel. The federal and multiple state laws and regulations associated with capital markets and securities transactions are extremely complex, so we assist our clients throughout the entire process. While there are several methods for complying with the securities laws in conducting a securities offering, we develop plans that provide our clients with the least costly and time-consuming methods for compliance. And, because our clients typically have a short timeframe in which to conduct a securities offering, we offer them timely and expert advice that will allow them to meet their schedules. Our clients’ expectations are our driving force – and their success is our success.
