EmailSecurities & Capital Markets
Berger Singerman’s Securities & Capital Markets practice guides companies through the complex process of raising and investing capital, and engaging in securities transactions, in the private and public markets. We advise emerging ventures through their various non-public capital raises as well as businesses entering and accessing the public market through initial and secondary public offerings. Our team also regularly assists public company “issuers” with their periodic public reporting and disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable stock exchange rules. We believe we have a well-earned reputation for quality, creativity and efficiency, for dedication and responsiveness in client service and for credibility and good working relationships with market participants and securities regulators.

Berger Singerman’s corporate and securities attorneys have extensive experience representing domestic and international issuers, underwriters, placement agents, active and passive investors and funds in connection with equity and debt financings and other capital markets transactions. We assist clients with transactions ranging from start-up, angel and venture capital financings, to large and sophisticated private placements and public offering transactions. Our experienced team advises issuers, underwriters and investors, on initial and follow-on securities offerings, and concerning all matters involving U.S. federal and state securities regulation as well as applicable stock exchange listing requirements.
We take great pride in acting as deal-facilitators and problem-solvers in financing and capital markets offerings and transactions. We collaborate with our clients’ in-house teams and work proactively to drive deals to efficient, successful conclusion. As issuer’s counsel, we guide our clients through every stage of the offering and funding process, from identifying and selecting placement agents and underwriters, to developing term sheets, mapping strategy and setting timetables, to preparing the offering documentation and appropriate filings and navigating the weave of applicable regulatory requirements. We deploy a practical and experience-based understanding of federal and state securities laws, stock exchange rules and market dynamics to assist clients in exploiting opportunities and avoiding potential pitfalls that may delay or derail a critical financing transaction.
