Strategic Securities Law Solutions

Securities laws that regulate stocks, bonds, convertible notes, and various other financial instruments are designed to prevent fraud, insider trading, and market manipulation.

Federal laws governing publicly traded securities require companies to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their financial condition, operating results, and executive compensation.

This information is vital for investors and shareholders making investment decisions and active in the market.

Small and mid-sized companies often seek private securities offerings to avoid the burdensome and costly process of registering their securities.

However, these private offerings require exemptions from registration, which can be complex and necessitate expert legal guidance.

Securities Law FAQ

What transactions require a securities lawyer?

Securities lawyers help business owners comply with SEC regulations laid out in the Securities Act of 1933.

These rules are often complex, and fines and penalties for lack of adherence are damagingly high.

Additionally, securities law includes recovering damages incurred when securities fraud has been committed.
