Our US securities law practice provides clients with solutions to the challenge of compliance with US securities laws in cross-border transactions. Working as part of a multi-jurisdictional legal team, we primarily focus on cross-border offerings with a US capital markets component.
Our experience comprises a range of transactions including international capital markets (including equity, investment grade and high-yield debt offerings and securitisations), M&A, venture capital, banking, derivatives, investment funds, investment bank litigation and regulatory matters.
We also advise on a wide range of US corporate and securities issues, including the US regulation of tender offers, business combinations and ongoing compliance with US securities laws by SEC registered companies. We have significant expertise in advising leading investment banks and issuers on US securities laws, including the delivery of 10b-5 due diligence letters. We also regularly advise on issues arising under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Based in London, Moscow and Hong Kong, we work closely with all other Herbert Smith offices. We concentrate on advising on US law aspects of our European and Asian deals.
