    Introduction

    Lloyd Spencer focuses his practice on transactional securities laws matters and mergers and acquisitions for domestic and foreign companies.

    Practice Areas

    Securities & Capital MarketsM&A and Corporate TransactionsCorporate & Finance

    My focus

    Earlier in my career, I held positions at the SEC including Corp Fin operations and the Office of Tender Offers. This experience affords me a unique understanding of compliance with SEC rules, corporate filings, tender offers, going-private transactions, merger proxy statements and public offering filings.

    Securities

    In my securities practice, I represent issuers and underwriters in primary and secondary public offerings of debt and equity securities. I also help clients ensure they are in compliance with federal securities laws and stock exchange rules, particularly relating to corporate governance and disclosure.

    Mergers and acquisitions

    I represent clients on a range of M&A transactions involving mergers, tender offers, going private transactions and modified Dutch auction issuer tender offers. I help clients with due diligence, negotiating acquisition agreements and preparing public disclosures in connection with their M&A transactions.

    Writing

    I regularly write on interesting topics relating to securities and M&A regulations, such as the SEC’s pay ratio rules and interpretations on the use of non-GAAP measures. I also write on topics related to the regulation of financial institutions.

    Looking ahead

    For public companies, one challenge going forward will be balancing the utilization of new technologies for communications with shareholders and the market with compliance with the federal securities laws.
