Services

Our practices.

Complex work across four practices — deals, counsel, IP, disputes. Published fees where the scope is defined; everything else gets a clear scope and fee — before any work begins.

Securities & capital markets

Our flagship practice. We advise issuers, underwriters, and investors on the full range of capital markets transactions — public and private, equity and debt — and counsel public companies on SEC reporting, disclosure, and corporate governance at every stage of corporate development. Our particular depth is in initial public offerings in the U.S. and Hong Kong and in ongoing SEC compliance and reporting.

Areas of focus
  • SEC compliance — annual report preparation, earnings release review, and the full range of SEC filings
  • Regulation S and Rule 144A offerings
  • Initial public offerings in the U.S. and Hong Kong
  • Prospectus drafting
Published fee
SEC compliance for foreign private issuers$60,000/yr

The annual compliance fee covers the 20-F, 6-K furnishings, and ongoing advisory for a full year — one named partner, no hourly billing.

Emerging companies

We represent emerging and growth companies through the full company lifecycle, from formation through exit. Day to day, we act as outside general counsel — the governance, contract, and compliance questions that come with building a company; at each inflection point, we step in as deal counsel for the financings and strategic transactions that mark the next stage.

Areas of focus
  • Corporate governance
  • Equity awards / ESOP
  • Commercial agreements — licensing, outsourcing, vendor & supplier contracts
  • Compliance counseling
  • Strategic transactions (venture financing, M&A)
Strategic transactions (venture financing, M&A) are scoped and priced per deal.

Intellectual property

We advise clients on the deals and disputes where intellectual property is the asset — helping companies create, protect, and monetize IP across its lifecycle. Our lawyers bring technical backgrounds to both sides of the table, from licensing and portfolio strategy through enforcement in federal court.

Areas of focus
  • Intellectual property & technology licensing
  • Outsourcing agreements
  • IP procurement, prosecution, and portfolio management
  • IP litigation in federal courts involving patent, trademark, and copyright claims

Litigation

We represent companies, boards, and executives — plaintiffs and defendants alike — in complex, high-stakes business disputes. We prepare every matter as though it will be tried, in federal and state courts, before regulators and agencies, and in domestic and international arbitration.

Areas of focus
  • Complex commercial litigation: contract disputes, antitrust & unfair competition
  • Securities litigation: defense of public companies and executives, including alleged securities fraud & misstatement and insider trading
  • Banking and restructuring litigation: creditor- and debtor-side representation in in- and out-of-court restructurings
  • IP litigation involving patent, trademark, and copyright claims
  • International commercial arbitrations seated in the US and in Hong Kong
