    Introduction

    Conrad Adkins is counsel in Nixon Peabody’s Corporate Practice Group. Conrad has extensive experience in domestic and cross-border corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, securities, international business, corporate restructurings, and general corporate governance and finance matters.

    Practice Areas

    Corporate & FinanceM&A and Corporate TransactionsSecurities & Capital MarketsInternational Services

    My focus

    Securities

    I advise publicly traded companies in complying with their ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and NYSE and NASDAQ listing rules. In particular, I have significant experience in advising on securities laws issues applicable to companies with foreign private issuer status and that maintain ADR programs. I also provide advice about raising capital, working with public and private companies in connection with the issuance of equity and debt securities.

    Mergers and Acquisitions

    I represent acquirers and targets in a diverse range of industries on public and private mergers. I have significant experience in advising about all aspects of the M&A deal cycle (asset, stock, real estate, buy and sell side, U.S. and cross-border), including negotiation, document drafting, transaction financing, coordination of due diligence teams, and project management.

    General Business Counseling

    I help domestic and foreign middle-market companies with a variety of corporate agreements and day-to-day legal matters that include assisting with corporate formation and governance items, executive and incentive compensation, commercial agreements, and other ongoing general corporate matters.

    Commercial Contracts and Transactions

    I assist clients with the drafting, negotiation, and maintenance of various service and supply agreements and other commercial contracts, including procurement and marketing/advertising agreements, and real estate, construction, transportation, and logistics contracts.

    Looking ahead

    As the world continues to deal with the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, I believe we will continue to see significant supply-chain disruption among industries and manufacturing capacity constraints. These disruptions and constraints can lead to significant strategic opportunities for organizations that are able to capitalize on the current market. These disruptions will also continue to create an increase in commercial disputes with raw material and other suppliers, which organizations will have to work through and address in a pragmatic fashion.
