Securities Law & Private Equity Lawyers

Recent difficulties in the lending markets continue to pose special challenges of access to many entrepreneurial ventures and established businesses. That factor, in tandem with the practical constraints that occupy the realm of publicly offered securities, have bolstered the need for (and have spurred the development of) private equity as a means of commercial finance. The securities lawyers at Lipson Neilson have the experience necessary to help our clients navigate the complications of private equity.

Securities law encompasses numerous regulations and procedures that, in the absence of dedicated legal expertise, will frustrate any enterprise that hopes to syndicate its business via the issuance of equity or debt. An equally extensive legal regime applies to questions raised by those who seek insight into the benefits and burdens that attach to already-outstanding securities, whether posed by the instrument’s issuer or holder.
