Equity & Debt Capital Markets

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

The caliber of clients and the size and complexity of the transactions we participate in are what you would expect from a major global legal practice. We routinely represent clients that are listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, the Deutsche Börse, Euronext, the Madrid Stock Exchange, the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange, MICEX, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and KOSDAQ.

Our broad experience allows us to offer insight and expertise in helping companies secure the funds needed to grow their business. We have guided companies through their preparation for, and successful completion of, an initial public offering (IPO) on their domestic or international stock market and are commonly engaged by them to assist with the continuing obligations as a publicly traded company. We have also advised leading investment banks on securities offerings when operating as sponsors and underwriters and on takeovers.

Our capital markets practice includes more than 100 transactional lawyers who focus on equity and debt capital markets transactions. This experienced team, together with our integrated service and approach, allows us to give effective local as well as cross-border advice. We regularly draw upon the support of leading recognized practitioners across Squire Sanders in areas including antitrust, banking, employee compensation, governmental regulations and taxation.
