                                    The Corporate Law group represents companies in a variety of industries in connection with 
                                    corporate, securities and business law matters including entity organization; corporate governance; 
                                    public and private equity and debt financings; compliance with regulations of the Securities

                                    and regulation; and SEC enforcement and litigation. 

                                    Our Securities practice involves representing issuers and underwriters in initial public offerings, 
                                    private placements and follow-on offerings of equity and debt. We also have extensive experience
                                    in the representation of venture capitalists and companies seeking Venture Capital financing or other 
                                    sources of private funding.

                                    The group's Mergers & Acquisitions practice includes negotiating mergers and acquisitions for 
                                    publicly traded companies as well as private concerns, tender offers, strategic alliances, joint ventures
                                    and other business combinations.

                                    We counsel public and private companies in matters of corporate governance including board and 
                                    committee structure and practices, insider trading issues, shareholder relations and the design of 
                                    takeover defenses. In particular, we advise our clients on the rapidly developing requirements imposed
