Providing capital planning with confidence.
Clients turn to Husch Blackwell's Securities & Corporate Governance law team for guidance on structuring, negotiating, and documenting capital market transactions that are critical to long-term growth. Clients benefit from our thorough understanding of federal and state securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements, as well the ongoing evolution of best practices in corporate governance post Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley.
