About The Firm
Legal Representation With A Business Perspective
It takes more than a top corporate law firm or experienced SEC attorney to create an effective Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), complete a complex reverse merger, close a technical commercial transaction or effectively perform as ongoing corporate counsel for small, publicly traded companies.
Effective legal representation can only be provided by a securities law firm that understands business itself, not just the laws that govern it. While other corporate law firms specialize in business theory, we focus on practical business applications.
Legal & Compliance, LLC is a multifaceted corporate and securities law firm. Our firm assists clients in all aspects of their commerce; including reverse mergers, registered public offerings, forming limited partnerships and operating agreements, strategic planning in response to unique management and ownership issues, commercial litigation, and broad-scope legal services.
We at Legal & Compliance understand business and offer unique legal services to small and mid-size private and publicly-traded companies, entrepreneurs, and business professionals.
We are, without a doubt, the big firm alternative.
Emphasis On Avoiding Problems; Not Just Solving Them
We are more than just corporate and securities attorneys focusing on small, publicly traded companies. The firm provides comprehensive legal services and counsel for general corporate operations, business transactions, corporate law, corporate finance, regulatory, SEC and FINRA matters, and all aspects of document preparation. We maintain a legal as well as business perspective; focusing on avoiding problems, not just solving them.
Legal & Compliance serves a national client base of private and publicly traded companies (litigation matters are only handled in Florida). Whether the client Company is located in Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, New York or Miami, they all receive the same superior legal service at the same rate as our local, Palm Beach clients.
Our experience in working with small, publicly traded companies is only exceeded by our ability to adapt. As the economic and regulatory landscape changes, so do we. Our firm is constantly evolving in order to stay abreast of regulatory changes and trends in the industry.
PinkSheets Compliance
PinkSheets has developed several tiers of quotation with increasingly higher reporting requirements; the self regulatory agencies governing over the counter trading activity have also evolved with the NASD becoming FINRA joining oversight of the New York Stock Exchange and Over the Counter Market into a single self regulatory body; the SEC has issued new interpretative guidance on Rule 415 for shelf registrations; Rule 144 has been amended; new guidance on broker dealer registration and finder’s fees have issued.
Also, the SOX regulations (Rule 404), whose applications to small companies had been delayed, are now coming to fruition.
FINRA Compliance
Legal & Compliance ensures that each client receives the superior legal service they deserve by limiting the number of assignments we accept at any given time. Legal & Compliance respects entrepreneurs and their need to have competent counsel to complete mergers and acquisitions, stay current with all state and federal securities rules and regulations, state and financial industry reporting requirements, comply with FINRA rules and regulations which could effect the trading in a client’s stock and prepare and/or review contracts, agreements and transactions in the ordinary course of business.
