Our Public Company Advisory Group represents public companies, their boards and senior management on securities law, corporate governance and regulatory compliance matters. In a high-scrutiny environment of fast-changing regulation and complex capital markets, we combine technical knowledge with a business perspective to support our clients' strategic imperatives.
We advise companies across industries and at every stage of the corporate life cycle — from private companies pursuing an IPO, to newly public emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, to large-cap issuers. A multidisciplinary team, we draw on strengths in corporate and securities law, capital markets, executive compensation, tax, business litigation and other practices. Whether as primary outside securities counsel to a large-cap issuer or outside general counsel to a smaller public company, we are committed to delivering responsive, commercially informed guidance.
Compliance and Governance. We are experienced advisors to boards, special committees and management teams on SEC reporting and disclosure requirements, stock exchange listing compliance, corporate governance best practices, executive compensation and equity, and the obligations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulatory frameworks.
Strategic Transactions & Corporate Finance. We represent issuers, underwriters and other market participants in registered and exempt securities offerings, public and private mergers and acquisitions, tender and exchange offers, debt financings and other capital markets transactions. We also counsel clients on emerging areas of regulatory focus, including digital assets and other novel developments in the securities law landscape.
Executive Compensation. We advise boards, compensation committees and senior executives on all executive compensation matters. We work with clients to structure programs that reward performance and align executive interests with those of shareholders.
Tax Strategies. We are experienced in both domestic and international strategies for securities offerings and strategic transactions.
Securities and Other Business Litigation. We have a deep litigation bench experienced in corporate and securities litigation, including in defense of companies and their directors and officers in securities class actions, individual shareholder claims, derivative demands and merger-objection litigation.
Government and Internal Investigations. Our litigators are equally experienced representing companies targeted by government enforcement actions, including by the SEC and the DOJ, as well as with highly sensitive and complex internal investigations.
