What are some key factors to consider when you need to raise capital?

Businesses generally thrive or fail on their ability to raise funds, and while many public and private financing options exist, each has varying levels of risk and governmental administration. A public offering, though potentially lucrative, is highly regulated and quite costly. Established companies in need of a cash infusion or a strategic growth plan may find the investor oversight in private equity arrangements the best choice for them. Newer companies often do better with private placements since they have fewer initial and ongoing regulatory requirements, take less time and leave more control with the current leadership. Working with an experienced securities attorney throughout this process is critical to making good decisions, and I will help you meet all legal requirements no matter which path you choose. 

Which types of issues commonly lead to securities litigation and arbitration?

The stakes are high for companies facing securities litigation or arbitration. Large fines/damage awards, the potential exposure of sensitive information and possible harm to your business’s reputation are just some of the potentially devastating consequences. Legal action can come in many forms, from internal investigations to private lawsuits and administrative proceedings in front of state and federal regulators, so you need a strong and experienced attorney to represent your interests. Examples of the allegations that often prompt litigation and arbitration include:


  • Accounting irregularities
  • Fraud and misrepresentation
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Inaccurate or incomplete disclosure
  • Negligent supervision



I have extensive experience in state and federal courts, arbitration proceedings and regulatory examinations/investigations, and know how to produce positive results in cases involving highly complex issues.
