What we do
Our services
We work with corporate, transactions, public companies, and early-stage growth companies.
We represent Nasdaq and other exchange-listed companies through every phase of public life: disclosure, proxy season, comment letters and the governance calls in between.
Learn moreFrom friends-and-family rounds to nine-figure institutional raises, we structure deals that close, on either side of the table.
Learn moreThe traditional roadmap to the public markets is often broken, expensive, and outdated. We cut through the noise of IPOs, SPACs, and Reg A+ to map out a path that actually fits your business, ensuring your debut is defined by your strategy — not by unnecessary investment bank fees or obsolete regulatory theater.
Learn moreBuyers, sellers and targets, from tuck-in acquisitions to transformative mergers. We negotiate the terms that matter and draft agreements that hold up.
Learn moreFormation, founder equity, first hires, first contracts and first institutional money: a legal foundation that scales with you.
Learn moreReg CF, Reg A+ (Tier 1 and Tier 2) and Reg D offerings through crowdfunding platforms, structured to raise well and stay compliant.
Learn morePatents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets: protected, licensed and enforced, including where IP meets financing and M&A.
Learn moreToken launches, digital asset offerings, exchanges and DeFi, structured across SEC, CFTC, FinCEN and state rules.
Learn moreContract, partnership, IP and securities disputes: pre-litigation strategy and resolution grounded in the business context.
