Business Finance

 
 

A significant aspect of Davis Malm's business practice involves public and private equity and debt security financings. We structure, negotiate, document, and close "friends and family" and angel rounds, private placements, venture capital financings, venture debt, and public offerings, domestically and abroad. These include SEC-registered offerings and Rule 144A placements. We also advise clients with respect to securities matters associated with these private and public financings.

Our clients are engaged in a variety of businesses, including manufacturing, services, technology, Internet and e-commerce, real estate, and a multitude of other industries involved in the capital markets.
