Corporate & Securities
BuckleySandler provides counseling and assistance on corporate and securities matters for financial and other business organizations, covering every phase of a company’s evolutionary cycle. We represent both operating and developmental stage enterprises. Our lawyers have extensive experience forming and structuring the ownership, management, and other aspects of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures. We have served as counsel to companies in connection with their issuance and sale of securities in venture capital and other private offerings, and have represented issuers and underwriters in initial and secondary public offerings.
We negotiate and craft various documents evidencing corporate and commercial understandings and transactions including: vendor, supply, outsourcing, distribution, and development contracts; executive employment, non-competition, and confidentiality agreements; shareholder agreements; bank and other credit facilities; and technology licensing arrangements. Our expertise extends to implementing recapitalizations, spin-offs, stock redemptions, proxy solicitations, dissolutions, and similar transactions. We provide advice on corporate governance, including counseling on fiduciary duties of officers and directors and on shareholder relations and disputes.
For publicly traded companies, we assist clients in complying with regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and other federal and state securities laws, providing advice on matters ranging from insider trading, sales of restricted securities, periodic and beneficial ownership reporting to financial and accounting controls, and recordkeeping provisions.

We have represented companies as well as officers and directors in Securities and Exchange Commission and State Revenue Office investigations and enforcement proceedings. For more information, please see our Securities Enforcement practice overview.
