Securities Law
In many cases, medium-sized companies grow to the point where it’s worthwhile or even necessary to go public. Issuing stock can open up attractive financing options for a company, or allow owners to realize the assets they’ve generated so far.
But the capital market asks a lot from companies because of the many legal requirements involved. Our advisors assist you with the necessary expertise in legal, economic and tax matters, making your company ready for the market. We assist companies that are already listed in meeting their securities law obligations and in further planned corporate actions.
