Our attorneys have a broad range of experience and
considerable depth of knowledge regarding corporate finance. We provide securities counsel and assist
both companies and individuals in complying with the frequently complex rules and regulations under
federal and state securities laws which affect the financing and capitalization of business enterprises.
We have an active practice in all
phases of tax-exempt and taxable financing. We
have served in various private placement and public
offering transactions as bond counsel, underwriter's
counsel, lender's counsel, and counsel for the corporate
obligor or real estate developer. One of our
lawyers has been selected by his colleagues for
inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America.
Our securities practice covers the
application of federal and state securities laws, to
offerings of both debt and equity securities, including
interests in limited partnerships and limited liability
companies in connection with mergers, going private
transactions, acquisitions, and takeovers by means of
negotiated transactions, tender offers and proxy
contests.
Our business clients include
corporations, general and limited partnerships, limited
liability companies and partnerships, investment
advisors, and broker-dealers. We advise these
clients in all aspects of corporate organization and
governance, including directors' and officers' fiduciary
duties and liabilities, directors' indemnification, and
shareholder rights and agreements.
