Williams & Connolly LLP lawyers provide securities advice to both individuals and businesses in connection with registered public offerings, private placements and ongoing reporting, and compliance matters.

The firm has represented a NASDAQ-listed local Internet company, beginning with assistance in its initial public offering through several subsequent rounds of equity financing. We served as issuer's counsel for a Middle Eastern company in connection with its proposed initial public offering in the U.S. We have represented issuers before NASDAQ with regard to listing issues.

The firm is qualified to handle crisis situations involving complex accounting and legal issues. We represented the audit committee of a Fortune 500 company when management abruptly abandoned the company amidst allegations of accounting improprieties. We worked closely with outside auditors throughout the process of restating the company's prior financial statements, with no interruption to the company's participation in the financial markets.
