Corporate Finance and Securities
Credit Facilities; Venture Capital; Leveraged Buyouts; Public Financing; Private Placements; Public Offerings; SEC Compliance; Blue Sky Filings

We represent businesses, financial institutions and other clients in connection with a variety of debt and equity financing transactions, including conventional credit facilities, venture capital transactions, leveraged and management buyouts, asset-based and other secured loans, industrial development and other public financing, public offerings, private placements and other alternatives for raising equity capital. Additionally, we represent banks and borrowers in loan transactions and structure complex debt and equity financing for corporate acquisitions, as well as represent local authorities, trustees, and underwriters in the issuance of tax-exempt bonds to fund municipal projects. We assist new ventures and guide established businesses through the challenging process of an initial public offering or private placement. Our attorneys have assisted numerous clients in the evaluation of proposals from investment banks, the negotiation of the complex terms of such engagements and the management and oversight of the relationship with those investment banks. We deal with the often complex federal and state laws and agencies regulating the issuance of securities. Our attorneys advise clients on statutory and regulatory compliance in all aspects of public and private securities offerings (including disclosure statements and periodic reports). Although some of Kleinbard Bell & Brecker's clients are public companies that require ongoing counseling on securities law compliance, the broad reach of the securities laws impacts almost all business transactions including those involving private companies. Our attorneys have a broad range of experience in obtaining blue-sky clearance for private placement transactions and the ways in which offerings can be structured to minimize the time and attendant expense of complying with state and federal securities regulations.
