Focus Area
Securities & Capital Markets
Our Capital Markets & Securities Team helps public companies, investment funds, and privately held businesses raise capital, achieve growth, and navigate complex regulations with confidence. Known for deep market insight and practical solutions, we guide clients through sophisticated transactions, governance matters, and financing strategies that position them for long-term success.
Clients look to us for strategies that drive business growth while managing risk. We structure venture capital rounds, form private equity funds, manage mezzanine debt, and prepare companies for IPOs and follow-on offerings. Our work spans the full lifecycle—from early-stage planning to corporate oversight, disclosure obligations, and liquidity events. We also provide ongoing counsel to public companies on securities reporting, corporate governance, and board compliance matters, ensuring they meet evolving regulatory requirements.
We advise boards, executive teams, and investors on securities compliance, equity compensation, and other high-value transactions. Working closely with colleagues in corporate, tax, and restructuring, we deliver integrated solutions that align with each client’s objectives and position them to act decisively in changing markets.
Our experience includes capital raising across venture, private equity, and hybrid structures; fund formation and investor-side advisory; IPOs, follow-on public offerings, and public company compliance; fiduciary duty counseling; public company M&A; going-private transactions; M&A-related financings; and specialized tools such as project-based, mezzanine, and tax-advantaged deals. Whether structuring innovative arrangements, advising on board matters, or navigating regulatory review, we bring strategic perspective, practical insight, and an unwavering focus to every engagement.
