Description
Transaction and business attorneys commonly see securities issues come up in matters related to transactions and raising capital. They can include private placements, transactions involving partnership or LLC interests, securities or stock option plans, representations and projections concerning the company, and mergers, acquisitions and other significant decisions by management.
Securities cases typically involve high stakes and sensitive matters. Securities claims present the risk of substantial damage awards and adverse publicity and may bear little relation to the true merits of the claims. When actions come in the form of a letter or subpoena from the SEC, keeping requests in perspective, anticipating risk, and knowing how to proceed can be critical.
Paul Vorndran and Brad Hamilton Jones & Keller, P.C. will address the common securities issues transaction and business attorneys run into with the goal of navigating those issues and guiding clients to best outcomes. Geared toward non-securities lawyers, this session includes assessing the level of involvement in the investigation, whether and how to cooperate, anticipating and managing key decision points, and knowing when to bring in an expert.

Mr. Hamilton practices in corporate, securities, business, finance, and transactions law, including public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, mergers and acquisitions, business formation and financing, venture and equity capital, business and technology transactions, international transactions, structured finance, construction, natural resources, and trademarks.
