Graydon Head & Ritchey currently serves as securities law counsel for a number of large and small public companies in the Midwest, including a super-regional bank holding company.  In working for these and other public company clients, we have gained substantial experience in representing both large and small public companies in initial and secondary public offerings, in shelf registration statements, in mergers and acquisitions using their securities as acquisition currency and in the various planning and disclosure considerations relating to such major transactions and ongoing strategic issues.  We take much pride in the fact that our clients have placed their trust in our legal advice in raising over $2 billion in the public markets and in issuing over $10 billion of their registered securities in strategic acquisitions.

We also routinely advise our public company clients on periodic reporting obligations, public disclosure requirements when unexpected events occur, and securities issues relating to various incentive plans.  In addition,  GH&R securities lawyers have played an integral role in assisting, implementing and advising our public company clients on Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and related corporate governance initiatives.

In addition to representing public companies with their securities laws needs, GH&R securities lawyers have substantial experience in representing both large and small companies in private offerings.  GH&R represents both providers and seekers of capital, including venture capital and private equity funds and numerous venture-funded companies, in numerous capital raising transactions.
