I think the capital raising market has a hole in it.

Emerging companies want to raise capital and be fully compliant with federal and state securities laws. But the regulatory landscape is confusing, and the consequences of messing up keep you awake at night.

Finding an attorney who really knows securities law is hard. Finding one with SEC experience—at a cost structure that makes sense for you—seems impossible.

If this feels familiar, you’ve found the same hole I did. It’s time to climb out.

I spent ten years at the SEC, most recently as Special Counsel in CorpFin’s Office of Small Business Policy. I know the exemptions from registration as well as anyone, and I can help you make and execute a compliant capital raising plan.

Or, if you are a broker-dealer needing help registering with FINRA, with an SEC or FINRA exam, or with questions on how your interest in crypto interacts (or not) with your status as a broker or dealer, my time as a lawyer in the Division of Trading and Markets’ Office of Chief Counsel will be useful for you.

Let’s talk.
