We represent clients in public and private offerings of debt and equity and assist businesses in all phases of the planning and preparation for such offerings. Our attorneys work with public companies in navigating the ever-changing regulatory requirements of the '34 Act, as well as assistance with NYSE and NASDAQ listing and compliance matters. We also offer advice and counsel in all related areas of regulatory compliance and represent Audit, Compensation and Nominating committees, with experience working with both very large and very small public companies. The Group also has deep experience with the regulatory matters affecting bank holding companies.
