Our clients include public companies and both emerging and mature private companies in industries such as software and technology, manufacturing, consumer products, gaming and entertainment, banking and financial services, food and beverage, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and energy.


Experience 

  • We counsel more than 30 public companies in periodic reporting with the SEC and in day-to-day securities disclosure matters.
  • We have represented Asensus Surgical in the $22.7 million acquisition of substantially all assets, including intellectual property assets, of an Israeli-based surgical technology company. The assets included acquisition of artificial intelligence and data analytics assets. The transaction involved payments in two tranches, the issuance of common stock, in a private placement transaction.
  • We have represented Exelon Corporation and several of its predecessor and subsidiary companies for more than 35 years. We have handled more than $8 billion in public and private debt and preferred securities offerings, significant restructuring, and a substantial increase to more than $6 billion in the company's revolving credit facilities. We also handled the securitization of $5 billion of PECO's stranded costs, which at the time was the largest U.S. asset securitization. Our attorneys established commercial paper programs, negotiated derivative transactions, and developed a process for SEC compliance for all of Exelon's reporting companies.
