The firm’s corporate and securities practice is focused on representing entrepreneurs and companies in emerging growth industries. Our practice supports the changing needs of our clients, with expertise in corporate and securities law, mergers and acquisitions, business organization, and debt or equity financing. We can also assist Issuers with preparing No Action requests to the Securities and Exchange Commission and different state Securities Boards.

Public Offerings

We assist clients in the structuring and preparation of public offerings, including traditional IPOs, reverse merger transactions and a variety of other hybrid offerings. In connection with these public offerings we offer the following services:

  • Internal Corporate Organization – As the public offering approaches, we help companies begin to focus on technical issues such as auditing the corporate records to ensure compliance with all applicable laws (corporate, securities, regulation industry and the like). We also counsel companies in simplifying their capital and corporate structure so investors see the potential benefits of an investment in the company’s stock. We aid companies in adopting and implementing stock option plans in order to allow employees to benefit from any increased value in the company’s stock.
  • Preparation of Offering Documents – We assist clients in becoming publicly reporting through the preparation and filing of a variety of registration statements with the SEC.
  • Over the years, we have developed a network of professionals whose services we are able to recommend to our clients, including SEC auditors, market makers, transfer agents and edgar printers, to name a few.
