My focus
Securities and Capital Markets
I regularly represent domestic and foreign companies and investment banks in public and private offerings of equity and debt securities. I also advise publicly traded companies on compliance with federal securities laws and stock exchange rules, SEC reporting and disclosure issues, and corporate governance matters.
Looking ahead
While we've seen continued deal activity, the dynamics driving issuance and financing strategies are shifting. Market windows are opening and closing quickly. Sponsors are adapting to a more constrained M&A environment, and capital providers are recalibrating where and how they deploy funds.
