We also regularly represent many smaller issuers and underwriters in all types of public offerings, including equity, debt, rights, convertible securities and offerings of dual-listed companies using foreign/hybrid disclosure documents. In addition, we counsel clients on the structuring, offering and day-to-day activity of mutual funds and other public pooled vehicles.

Our attorneys are highly regarded by the staffs of the Israel Securities Authority and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and our strong working relationships with them have enabled us to obtain regulatory relief for our clients, often on issues of first impression.

We regularly represent issuers and underwriters in public offerings in the United States and Europe, particularly on the NASDAQ Stock Market and the London Stock Exchange, including the AIM.  We have also worked on public offerings of Israeli companies in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and Switzerland.  Many of our attorneys have studied and/or practiced in foreign jurisdictions, which enables them to provide our clients with valuable guidance at every stage of the offering process.  We have particular expertise in the U.S. securities laws and are able to render meaningful advice and services in this area.  Our rich experience  also enables us to accommodate differences between the laws and market standards of Israel and other jurisdictions.  This experience also enables us to effectively represent “dual-listed” companies and underwriters in public offerings in Israel using hybrid U.S.-Israeli prospectuses.  Besides classic public offerings, we have experience in all types of securities transactions involving public companies, including Rule 144A and Regulation S offerings, PIPEs, equity lines, shelf registrations and exchange offers.

Additionally, as a full-service law firm we have the ability to handle any substantive issues that may arise during the due diligence process, including review of intellectual property issues, employment matters, pending litigation, outstanding debt instruments, real estate matters and commercial agreements.
