CORPORATE FINANCE & SECURITIES

The knowledge we have gained from providing counsel to many of the nation’s leading corporations, emerging companies and prominent private equity firms positions us to provide sound advice and keen judgment on finance- and securities-related matters. Our corporate finance and securities practice advises a diverse range of businesses as well as private individuals. We assist issuers, boards of directors, management, shareholders and underwriters in all types of public offerings, private placements, recapitalizations and other corporate and commercial finance transactions. Our practitioners also have extensive experience in securities regulatory compliance and disclosure, an increasingly vital service given the more stringent regulatory environment.

 

Case Studies

Supporting worldwide growth of Enterprise

We represented Insituform Technologies, Inc. in its $125 million offering of common stock in 2009 with Merrill Lynch as principal underwriter.

We represented Federal Signal Corporation in its $75 million offering of common stock in 2010 with Citi as principal underwriter.

We represented Baldor Electric Company, a global manufacturer of industrial electric motors, in the financing of its $1.8 billion purchase of the Reliance Electric Company and Dodge Gear business of Rockwell Automation, Inc. The financing consisted of a combination of a public offering of common stock, the sale of $550 million in senior notes, and borrowings of $1 billion under the term loan portion of a senior secured credit facility.

We served as underwriter counsel to Wachovia Securities and Stifel Nicolaus in connection with a $69 million public offering of common stock by The Empire District Electric Company.

We represented Essence Group Holdings Corporation (EGHC) in connection with a convertible preferred stock financing from its largest shareholder, JDlinx, LLC in 2009. In addition, we represented EGHC in connection with the offer to existing stockholders of an opportunity to participate in the financing round.

We served as counsel to Barry-Wehmiller Companies, Inc. in connection with the formation of Forsyth Capital Partners, LP, a private equity investment fund organized in 2009 to apply Barry-Wehmiller’s successful acquisition and management strategies to businesses outside of its historical areas of focus.

We represented the lead investor in the purchase of preferred stock and warrants, as well as related bridge financings, in the Merriman Curhan Ford Group, Inc., a financial services firm that invests in clean tech, consumer/Internet/media, health care, natural resources and technology.
