We are a boutique securities law practice and we solely focus on securities law drafting, SEC defense representation and security laws related litigation. This singular focus has allowed us to earn national recognition as the “go-to firm” for securities and corporate lawyers.
We are one of the few firms in the U.S. today offering a drafting team of two veteran securities lawyers, each with an average of 20 years' experience. Unlike many large and mid-sized firms, we do not use clients to train junior associates.
We are the only boutique securities law firm with a team of lawyers from prestigious law schools such as the New York University, University of Michigan, Duke Law, and UC Berkeley, bringing top-tier experience typically found in large and mid sized firms.
We represent clients referred by other securities lawyers, defending them against actions initiated by the SEC and state regulators. As a result, we craft offerings that avoid the common missteps of other lawyers by leveraging our expertise as SEC defense and fraud attorneys.
As regulatory defense attorneys and litigators, we expertly navigate the complexities of the law, offering unparalleled protection against SEC enforcement actions, criminal charges, and financial judgments from failed offerings. Failed offerings can give rise to millions of dollars in damages and jail time in many circumstances. This can be avoided.
We own a third party due diligence firm that acts like Consumer Reports for law firms and issuer companies. We are hired by broker dealers to produce 50+ page due diligence reports at a cost of approximately $25,000. These reports allow BD's to properly evaluate issuers before agreeing to sell their offerings. We are experts in evaluating other lawyers legal work.
We are the only U.S. law firm with an affiliated FINRA-registered broker dealer, offering unmatched distribution support. Every year our affiliate raises over $100M in investment capital for issuers. In contrast, most law firms that can only refer clients to a friendly portal owner or broker dealer, and most of these referred resources scarcely raise any funds each year.
Our pricing is primarily flat fee with a contingent component, addressing client concerns about the "sticker shock" of hourly billing. Our rates are more competitive than large firms and comparable to mid sized firms, while our expertise in our field is regarded as among the best in the industry. We don't compare with small one to four person law firms because we are a full sized law practice.
Our team, one of the few law firms in the U.S. offering a minimum of TWO qualified veteran securities lawyers for each case, provides thorough drafting and review of your Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), with each lawyer averaging 20 years of experience. Unlike most large and mid sized firms, we don’t use our clients to train associates. As regulatory defense attorneys and litigators, we expertly navigate the complexities of the law, protecting you from SEC enforcement, criminal charges, and costly judgments. We handle a range of offerings, including crowdfunding, real estate, oil and gas, manufacturing, and technology.
We offer competitive flat fee pricing, often with a contingent component, to avoid the “sticker shock” of typical hourly billing. Our rates are notably lower than those at mid-sized or large law firms, while our expertise and reputation rival the best in capital markets law. Unlike smaller firms, we provide the sophistication and credibility typically associated with larger firms, ensuring exceptional value for our clients.
To raise capital from institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, you typically need a Regulation D (Reg D) private placement memorandum (PPM) or private placement offering (PPO). This process can be complex and requires precision, leaving no room for error. Our experienced Regulation D private placement attorneys ensure that everything is done correctly to secure your funding.
Drafting a Regulation D Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) demands significant expertise to avoid legal pitfalls. To ensure precision, we assign TWO seasoned securities attorneys with over a decade of specialized experience to each private placement requirements. Our attorneys, many with over twenty years in the field, offer expertise that surpasses typical small firms and large firms where junior staff often handle PPMs.
Our PPM lawyers, who also specialize in securities litigation, draft private placement documents with practical considerations in mind. Because of our close relationships with investment banking firms, we anticipate potential regulatory and legal challenges and provide valuable market insights and complex deal structuring that other attorneys may not offer.
Understanding Regulation D private placement regulations is important for any offering, whether in manufacturing, real estate, software development, or AI. Only experienced Regulation D private placement lawyers can navigate the complex securities laws and protect you from potential legal issues. Many consulting firms and less experienced attorneys lack the deep expertise needed. Large firms often split their focus among various legal areas, which can dilute their specialization in private placements.
At Centarus, we focus 95% of our practice on Regulation D private placements, including Regulation A offerings, public offerings, and securities litigation. Our extensive experience ensures that our clients' documents are well-protected against regulatory investigations and litigation. Our attorneys are experts in private placements, crowdfunding, and cryptocurrency, reflecting the specialized nature of our practice.
The experience of our team of vetaran securities attorneys ensures that each PPM is meticulously drafted. In addition, each PPM is drafted and reviewed by two seasoned private placement lawyers with top-tier law backgrounds.
Most of our attorneys are graduates of prestigious universities and have extensive experience at major law firms.
We are also among a select group of firms representing clients in SEC defense actions. Our primary goal is to shield you from criminal prosecution and regulatory scrutiny, ensuring your success and peace of mind.
