Capital Raising

Companies seeking to raise capital through debt or equity issuances face a number of regulatory hurdles. If not properly coordinated, these efforts may run afoul of federal and state securities laws, which exposes the company and its owners to potential civil and criminal liability.

Paesano Akkashian represents companies in all forms of capital raising, from exempt raises in compliance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, to registered capital raises pursuant to Regulation A, Regulation CF, and initial public offerings on Form S-1. If you’re raising capital, it’s important to retain experts to protect your company from potential liability down the road. Contact Anthony Paesano or Devin Bone today for a consultation.

Investor Litigation and FINRA Arbitrations

In an industry flush with risk, companies and financial advisors regularly make decisions in hopes of big returns. However, risks always carry the possibility of loss, and loss often leads to disputes among investors and financial professionals. Paesano Akkashian’s attorneys regularly represent both companies and investors in a wide-variety of disputes, from member or shareholder oppression lawsuits to FINRA arbitrations. Notably, Devin Bone is one of the few Michigan attorneys who represents customers in FINRA Arbitrations against financial advisors in suitability, churning, and breach of fiduciary cases. Whether you’re an investment professional or investor, contact Paesano Akkashian for assistance in any dispute you’re facing.
