Securities & Finance

Our securities practice group provides practical advice on a broad spectrum of securities laws and regulations, including SEC disclosure and compliance, stock exchange listing and compliance, and private placements. We represent issuers, underwriters, venture capitalists, lenders, private equity funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other investors in public and private offerings of debt, equity and asset-based securities.

We are more experienced, and have a deeper bench, than firms of comparable size.
