Getting access to capital markets, and finding the right investment opportunities: in today’s economy, these are especially challenging tasks. We leverage industry relationships and our diverse capital markets expertise to bring companies and appropriate resources together.
Finding the right opportunities in securities and corporate finance requires good working partnerships throughout the financial markets. We help clients expand their businesses, increase owner liquidity and achieve long-term objectives. From emerging technology companies to REITs and financial services companies, we have completed more than 350 capital markets transactions in recent years.
Our attorneys come from a wide range of disciplines in the legal and business world. We’ve created industry-focused cross-disciplinary teams that can better address client needs, from public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, public and private mergers and acquisitions, to securities law compliance and corporate governance matters.
We work with clients in a variety of business sectors, including:
- Emerging growth technology companies
- Banks and financial services companies
- Real estate investment trusts
- Traditional manufacturers
- Professional services and consulting firms
- Life sciences companies
We help private equity clients engineer exits into debt and equity capital markets, achieve liquidity for their investments, and balance control and liability in today’s risky environment. Our experience includes IPOs, public offerings of equity and debt securities, universal shelf takedowns, medium-term note programs, PIPEs (private investments in public entities), offshore and cross-border financings, Rule 144A private placements and high-yield debt offerings.
In addition to our transactional practice, we advise management and boards of directors as they structure financings for both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. We’re well-versed in corporate and securities law issues, including disclosure issues and regulatory reporting and compliance, as well as liquidity matters, including insider trading compliance, reporting and trading plans and executive and equity compensation.
