Since the establishment of the current securities regulatory regime in the 1930s, Calfee has a long history of serving as primary outside counsel to public companies in a variety of industries, of different sizes (from small, microcap companies to Fortune 100 companies) and traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ or the OTC markets.
While a number of attorneys with Calfee's Corporate and Finance practice group have deep experience representing public company clients, our experience with and sensitivity to the unique issues facing publicly traded companies expand into a variety of other areas, including Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation, Government Relations and Legislation, Intellectual Property, Securities Litigation, Tax, and Wealth Management.
Our attorneys from each of these practice areas help our public company clients advance their business goals while assisting our clients in achieving the highest governance and disclosure standards, all while keeping a discerning eye on the impact of decisions on the wide range of other participants closely monitoring our clients’ actions – a group that includes stockholders (including institutional investors and activists), capital markets participants, regulators, employees, rating agencies, investment analysts, proxy advisory services, the media, and the public at large.
