We have counseled many clients from their first “seed” capital offering through each of their subsequent financings, up to and including their initial public offering. Other clients have consulted us in connection with securities offerings at a later stage, after prior private or public financings have been consummated. In every case, our clients benefit from our experience advising issuers and underwriters on the issuance of debt and equity securities, both domestically and offshore. Our lawyers have advised on a wide variety of securities offerings, including registered public offerings in the United States, private placements and dual listings on domestic and foreign capital markets. We also have advised on the availability of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the related rules and regulations. We frequently are asked by our clients to advise them on strategic issues in connection with public and private offerings of securities.
