We advise public companies with respect to compliance with state and federal securities laws. We also represent issuers and underwriters in initial and secondary public offerings and in Regulation D offerings.  In connection with our securities work for public companies, we have provided advice concerning disclosure, insider trading, securities fraud, compliance issues, pension plan disclosure, and other issues. We also counsel investment advisors.

Transactional Practice

We have represented clients in a variety of transactions in a number of industries, including high technology, telecommunications, energy, cable television, radio, and retail chain stores.   These transactions have included mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and going-private transactions, and both public and private financing.
