Carlton Fields represents clients in matters related to mergers and acquisitions, business organizations, corporate finance issues, and compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissioners, and other regulatory bodies. We represent issuers of common and preferred stock, secured and unsecured debt instruments, limited partnership interests, and other investments in both private placement and public offerings.
Our lawyers, who have extensive knowledge of SEC regulations, blue sky laws, and stock exchange and FINRA rules, handle initial and secondary public offerings from the perspective of both the issuer and underwriter. Following the public offering of securities, we also help our public company clients comply with continuing reporting and disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws and the rules of the applicable stock exchange or NASDAQ.
Additionally, we represent businesses in all aspects of mergers and acquisitions transactions, exchange offers, tender offers, takeovers, and sales of stocks and assets.
