Capital Markets

Squire Sanders advises companies, sponsors and underwriters on capital market transactions in all the principal markets in the United States, the UK, Continental Europe and Asia.

We routinely represent clients listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, the Official List of the London Stock Exchange, AIM, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Kosdaq (in Korea), the Deutsche Börse, Euronext and the Madrid Stock Exchange.

Our broad experience allows us to offer insight and advice in helping companies secure the funds needed to grow their business. We have guided companies through their preparation for, and successful completion of IPOs on their domestic or international stock markets and are often engaged by them to assist with the continuing obligations as a publicly traded company. We have also advised leading investment banks operating as sponsors and underwriters on securities offerings and takeovers.

Our capital markets practice includes more than 100 transactional lawyers whose focus is on equity and debt capital markets transactions. This experienced team, together with our integrated service and approach, allow us to give effective local as well as cross-border advice.

We represent a large number of public companies throughout the world, enabling us to understand governance challenges facing corporations operating in a global marketplace. We regularly advise clients in key areas, including development and administration of corporate governance policies, ongoing compliance and public reporting, related party transactions, governmental investigations, and equity and other executive compensation arrangements.
