In our corporate finance practice, WSMB works with both public and private companies on a wide array of issues. Frequently, we advise privately held businesses in a broad range of equity and debt capital-raising transactions. We also represent the funds and other investors providing such capital. Because many of our corporate clients are founder-controlled, high-growth enterprises, we are highly skilled at providing tailored solutions that respond to a client's specific needs. That part of our client base has also made us exceptionally proficient at assisting and educating management teams who are unfamiliar with the norms of the private financing markets.

WSMB additionally has substantial expertise in representing companies utilizing customary structures to obtain capital in friends-and-family, angel investor, venture capital, Regulation D, private equity fund and other private financings. Our long experience with those types of transactions generally enables us to consummate them for our clients both expeditiously and cost effectively.

WSMB's attorneys have handled a wide array of offerings, registrations, filings and investigations arising under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other federal and state securities laws. Accordingly, we have the experience necessary to ensure that a client desiring someday to go public will be properly positioned to do so. We additionally have the expertise required to assist publicly traded companies with their periodic and other regulatory filings.
