Capital Strategies 

Capital is the lifeblood of business. Without it, a business cannot first exist, ever grow, or long survive. But capital does not form easily or flow freely. Capital structures and financial products are increasingly complex. Rounds of financing and tiers of capital must be engineered with precision and installed with speed. Too much friction will kill the deal. Too little tensile strength will result in a structure incapable of enduring the storm created from the admixture of securities laws, commercial codes, and bankruptcy acts.

Our Capital Strategies Group (CSG) is composed of able lawyers who have consistently met these challenges with demonstrated depth, range, and versatility. Our public offering work in the last decade alone has accounted for more than $5 billion of funding for businesses. Whether your transaction involves an angel round, a senior secured line, acquisition financing, capital for growth, or a public offering, our CSG lawyers will lead you through with a high degree of professionalism honed from their long experience.

Indeed, a composite tombstone of that experience would show participation in deals of various dimensions, at all tiers of the capital structure, whether debt, equity, or a combination thereof, on behalf of clients involved from all angles and a variety of industries.
