We complement our company representation with engagements by underwriters, placement agents and financial advisors, as well as institutional investors.
The breadth and depth of our practice enables us to bring significant experience in numerous industries and expertise in capital markets transactions to provide timely, practical business advice. For example, in guiding a company through the IPO process, our lawyers have the experience and judgment not only to execute the IPO quickly and smoothly, but also to assist with the numerous and complex decisions facing a pre-IPO company, from selecting an underwriting team through pricing and closing of the IPO and becoming a publicly traded company.
In addition to our transactional practice, we advise management and boards of directors of public companies on the full spectrum of corporate and securities law matters. These include disclosure issues and regulatory reporting and compliance, as well as insider liquidity matters, including insider trading compliance, reporting and trading plans and executive and equity compensation issues. less »
