My practice covers all aspects of cross-border capital market transactions involving non-US companies and sovereigns, as well as related regulatory matters. Previously, I served as Chief of the Office of International Corporate Finance in the US Securities Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Division of Corporation Finance. I oversaw the Office’s efforts to develop and implement rulemaking initiatives and interpretive policies pertaining to US public and private offerings, listings and other transactions and periodic reporting by foreign private issuers (FPIs) in the US and multinational offerings by foreign and domestic issuers, especially with respect to Regulation S, Rule 144A, Form 20-F and Securities Act and Exchange Act filings by foreign private issuers, the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, American depositary receipts and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). During my tenure, 2,000+ FPIs completed their initial registrations with the SEC, including through traditional global or US-only IPOs, privatizations, spin-offs, straight listings and M&A transactions, and many sovereign issuers completed their initial US registered debt offerings. Also in that time, numerous foreign corporate and governmental issuers effected a wide range of follow-on capital markets transactions in SEC registered offerings. I led various initiatives relating to IFRS, and helped implement rulewriting and other projects under the Dodd-Frank Act & the JOBS Act, including projects relating to cross-border derivatives transactions, the extra-territorial application of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws and amendments to Rule 144A. I also served as the Commission’s representative to the Corporate Governance Committee of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. I completed significant work relating to international organizations, including the International Organization of Securities Commissions and the Financial Stability Board.
