Our legal team has extensive knowledge and experience to provide the high-quality level of representation demanded by public companies and other market participants. We regularly advise clients on securities issues specific to public companies and assist with preparing and filing registration statements, proxy statements, annual, quarterly, and current reports, and other SEC filings as well as private placement memoranda and related private offering materials, including documentation under the Jobs Act, including crowdfunding.
Our firm is one of the few firms in Florida that have had an approved Regulation A+ filing. Attorney Wallace is also a highly regarded speaker on crowdfunding and cryptocurrency.
Our approach is to thoroughly understand a company’s business and objectives so that we can better and more effectively advise them as well as to help ensure that any disclosure documents are accurate and complete. We take a multidisciplinary approach in advising clients to review securities matters while taking into account implications of other practice areas of our firm (intellectual property, tax, employment, employee benefits and executive compensation, technology, environmental and real estate). As a result, our practice is quite diverse, making us well-equipped to handle virtually any legal issue that our public company clients face.
We try not to simply assist our clients in drafting offering and disclosure documents, but instead to help guide them to opportunities, investors, and relationships; thus we are able to leverage our industry knowledge and contacts with underwriters, investment banks, hedge funds and PIPE funds to identify possible partners who can help our clients grow their businesses in an efficient manner.
Our significant experience in representing issuers, underwriters, investment banks, and investors in public and private offerings allows us to better understand market expectations, the interests of the parties to these transactions, the business needs of our clients, and the need for efficient execution and speed to market.
Compliance with, or meeting requirements for exemptions from, federal and state securities laws is not only the principal focus of public and private offerings of securities, but can also be an important element in many other business transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, tender offers and the formation of new ventures, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and joint ventures.
