Securities Law Experience

Davis Wright Tremaine assists clients with the issuance or sale of securities in mergers and acquisitions. In addition, we represent investment advisors and broker-dealers on a continuing basis. We have assisted in the organization of several mutual funds and broker-dealers, and have assisted them in transactions and in SEC, NASD and state compliance matters.

With respect to publicly held clients and investors in public companies, we regularly prepare and review proxy materials (including those relating to the adoption of various anti-takeover measures), periodic reports to the SEC and shareholders and shareholder and insider reports, such as Schedule 13D. As part of our continuing representation, we advise these clients with developing disclosure policies, dealing with insider trader rules and reviewing public communications. These activities include advice on listing, reporting and compliance by public companies with various securities exchanges and the NASD. The firm's private securities practice covers a broad range of capital formation transactions, including private placement (Regulation D) offerings, venture capital and institutional placements and real estate financing. Other types of transactions include intrastate and other exempt offerings, over-the-counter options, and hybrid securities.
