Securities and capital markets law covers the rules around how companies raise money and how investments are bought, sold, and regulated. This can include helping a business issue stock or bonds, advising on private fundraising from investors, and preparing the disclosure documents that describe an offering. It also touches on public company reporting, mergers and acquisitions involving shares, and compliance with securities regulators. Individual investors may encounter this area when a dispute arises with a broker or financial adviser, or when they have questions about an investment they hold.
The organizations in this directory that list this practice area include law firms of various sizes, boutique practices focused on corporate and financial matters, and in-house legal departments at financial or investment businesses. When choosing counsel, ask about their experience with matters similar to yours, such as startup fundraising, regulatory inquiries, or investor disputes. It is also sensible to confirm that an attorney is registered and in good standing using the New York Attorney Search before engaging them.
