Capital Markets

Accessing capital markets introduces legal, disclosure and governance requirements that extend beyond ordinary private-company fundraising.

We advise companies, shareholders and other market participants on the corporate and regulatory aspects of securities issuances, private placements, capital increases and other capital-raising transactions.

Before a transaction progresses, we assess whether the company has the corporate records, governance arrangements and approval framework necessary for the proposed transaction. Existing shareholder rights, constitutional restrictions or unresolved corporate matters may need to be addressed before securities are issued.

During the transaction, we support the preparation and review of corporate approvals, disclosure materials, offering documentation and other legal documents required for execution.

We also coordinate the legal workstream with financial advisers, auditors and other professionals involved in the process to maintain consistency across transaction documentation.

Where continuing obligations arise after completion, we support companies with corporate actions, governance, shareholder matters and ongoing capital-markets compliance.

What This Includes
Corporate readiness assessment before a proposed securities issuance, placement, capital increase or other capital-markets transaction.
Preparation and review of shareholder approvals, board approvals, offering materials and transaction-related corporate documentation.
Legal coordination with financial advisers, auditors and other professional advisers throughout the capital-raising process.
Post-transaction support for disclosure requirements, corporate actions, shareholder matters and continuing governance obligations.
