Wildman Harrold’s Securities Practice is versed in registered public offerings and private placements of securities, assisting clients in all stages of capital development from formation to later stage venture capital financing. Our attorneys act as issuers’ counsel for corporations, partnerships, and trusts in a wide variety of industries and as underwriters’ counsel for many of the nation’s leading investment banking firms. We also counsel individuals who are selling their securities in public offerings and private sales, including initial public offerings and secondary offerings of common stock, notes, bonds, mortgage-backed securities, preferred stock, limited partnership interests, and other securities.

We advise publicly traded clients in connection with their preparation of proxy solicitation material, reports to the SEC and shareholders, stock repurchase programs, stock exchange, and NASDAQ listing. As securities counsel, we guide officers and directors of these companies in complying with their obligations under securities laws when they buy and sell client securities for their personal accounts.

We also have a nationally recognized Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) Practice to assist venture capitalists toward becoming a licensed SBIC. For more information, please visit SBIClaw.com.
