Securities & Capital Markets

Dow Lohnes has extensive experience in all facets of securities and capital market transactions. We represent issuers, underwriters, initial purchasers and placement agents in connection with securities offerings and stock exchange listings. We also advise issuers, officers, directors and stockholders with respect to their reporting and other obligations under U.S. securities laws.

We have significant experience in assisting companies in all phases of the corporate life cycle, from formation and early-stage capital raising, to going public and meeting public company reporting and ownership requirements. We provide a full range of services for issuers in initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, investment-grade, high-yield and convertible debt offerings, PIPE transactions, 144A, Regulation S and private placements, with the depth and breadth to handle the most complex and extremely time sensitive matters. We maintain a very strong working relationship with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which enables us to take clients through the SEC review process effectively and efficiently.

Dow Lohnes attorneys advise public and closely-held companies of all sizes on day-to-day operations as well as strategic corporate initiatives, corporate governance issues and compliance standards, including those mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, NYSE and NASDAQ listing requirements and Securities Exchange Commission rules. We tailor our counsel to each client's needs. For some companies, we act as sole legal counsel, giving practical advice on day-to-day operations. In other cases, we serve as an adjunct to in-house legal departments or as special regulatory counsel, advising clients in highly specialized areas of the law. Whatever our clients’ needs, our representation is always comprehensive and focused on achieving the right results.
