Public Company Representation

We have a rich history of representing public companies in capital markets offerings and our lawyers are experienced in securities laws, corporate laws and corporate governance matters. Our public clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to portfolio companies of our private equity clients to public development and small-cap issuers, regularly turn to us for their securities, regulatory, corporate governance, compliance, transactional and litigation needs.

Our lawyers advise and execute a broad range of capital-raising transactions across the full range of a company’s capital structure, including debt, equity and equity-linked offerings, and tender and exchange offers. In addition, Proskauer has acted as primary outside counsel for a number of companies, advising on strategic corporate initiatives and issues relating to shareholders, CEOs, CFOs, boards of directors and special committees on how to best fulfill their responsibilities to investors and the public, oversee compliance with federal and state disclosure, and file requirements with the SEC, the NYSE and other national securities exchanges.
