Stearns Weaver Miller’s Corporate/M&A/Private Equity group advises clients on a full range of business activities including capital raises, financings, acquisitions, mergers, sales and liquidations, joint ventures and governance.

Our clients are diverse and include public companies, private equity and investment firms, real estate developers, entrepreneurs, and healthcare and life sciences companies. We represent issuers and underwriters in public equity and debt offerings including IPOs, follow-on and rights offerings, and high-yield bond offerings.

We handle stock and asset acquisitions and sales, mergers and consolidations, divestitures and spinoffs, joint ventures, “going private” transactions, tender offers and leveraged buyouts. We guide investors and companies through the venture capital lifecycle, from startup to exit.

Our attorneys understand our clients’ businesses and the issues they face, and our goal is to provide pragmatic solutions and personalized advice.

We assist clients with regulatory aspects of business transactions, compliance and securities matters. We deal extensively with the SEC, NYSE, FTC, banking regulators and FINRA. We assist our public company clients with preparing stockholder reports, annual disclosure and periodic reporting, public and private securities offerings, proxy solicitations and contests, class actions and officer and director claims.
