My practice is focused on corporate and securities law with an emphasis on financial institutions. I assist clients with a wide range of issues including corporate governance, public and private securities offerings, public company reporting (including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, proxy statements, and beneficial ownership filings), securities exchange listing standards, and federal and state banking regulation. I have also represented clients in numerous mergers and other strategic transactions, primarily in the financial institutions sector. I am admitted to practice law in North Carolina and New York.I enjoy helping businesses navigate the complex web of laws and regulations that govern the U.S. capital markets and working together to find practical solutions. Public disclosure and regulatory issues are rarely straightforward. Addressing these issues requires both a technical knowledge of the law and an appreciation of the practical business issues companies face in designing compliance strategies. My goal is to serve as a trusted advisor and valuable partner to businesses operating in complex regulatory environments.
Listed skills include Securities Regulation, Corporate Law, Corporate Governance, Banking Law, and 4 others.
