Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance

As experienced lawyers, we guide companies through the legal and regulatory hurdles related to securities regulation and corporate governance. An important theme of corporate governance is to ensure the accountability of management in an organization through mechanisms related to the fiduciary duties of its leaders. A related but separate thread of discussions focuses on the impact of a corporate governance system on economic efficiency, with a strong emphasis on shareholders' welfare.

Our attorney’s have more than 25 years of combined experience in drafting, filing and obtaining effective SEC registration statements. We counsel clients on all SEC compliance issues including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1934 Exchange Act as amended, and other

periodic reporting obligations. The introduction of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has subjected companies, with securities traded and quoted on all exchanges, to increased disclosure and corporate governance requirements. Part of our role as legal counsel includes educating our clients on changes in the law and ensuring that their company is not obstructed by any such changes.

Our experience allows us to cost-effectively counsel companies on compliance with state Blue Sky laws and other securities law issues such as reorganizations, recapitalizations, board of director and shareholder issues, and employee stock option plans (ESOPs).
