About
Provided by Goodwin
In addition to our expertise in traditional equity offerings, Goodwin’s Capital Markets team provides strategic counsel on alternative financing techniques. We have extensive experience in advising clients on PIPEs (Private Investment in Public Equity) and private placements, as well as "at-the-market" offerings, which are particularly popular in volatile markets. These alternative offerings have proven to be effective means of raising capital in current market conditions.
Companies seeking to grow, increase liquidity for their investors or reduce their cost of capital regularly turn to Goodwin. We work with public company clients in all matters of corporate governance and have extensive experience representing private companies in their venture/crossover financings and IPOs, and public companies in their SEC reporting, debt and equity follow-on offerings, corporate governance, and all other related aspects of their legal needs.
