Securities

Leatherwood’s lawyers have extensive experience in corporate finance and securities law matters, including public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, initial public offerings, secondary offerings, tender offers, private placements and venture capital financing. We provide advice to clients on sophisticated business transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, dispositions of subsidiaries and other assets, corporate formations and related matters. Leatherwood also provides securities law advice on filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, insider trading, corporate governance, employee benefit plans, issuer repurchase programs, stock exchange listing requirements and fiduciary duties.

Our attorneys assist in structuring methods for raising capital and insuring compliance with the increasingly complex laws governing the sale of stocks, bonds, notes, limited liability, company and partnership interests, and other types of securities. Our knowledge and skill in this area can help avoid potential problems in the offering of stock to employees or to other persons, and in the offering of interests in real estate projects.

The firm also offers assistance and advice for registered broker-dealers in satisfying the requirements of the National Association of Securities Dealers, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other regulatory authorities.
