This career path focuses on the transactions undertaken to raise money from investors in the capital markets. Lawyers whose practice involves advising business clients about the types of instruments available for raising capital (such as debt or equity ownership interests in the business) are called “securities lawyers...
The practice of securities law—the world of stocks, bonds, and similar instruments from a legal perspective—has three main branches: financing, regulatory work and litigation. Like the legal profession as a whole, the world of securities law has become highly specialized and has been much in the spotlight since the fin...
Securities lawyers who help clients obtain financing through sales of debt or equity interests in the capital markets determine how the “public offering” transaction should be structured, including whether the instruments to be issued to investors comprise "securities" that must be registered with the Securities and Ex...
A corporate and securities lawyer, whether managing a public offering or a transfer of ownership involving debt or equity securities, bears the responsibility for overseeing all of the legal aspects of the transaction. These practitioners gain significant exposure to a wide array of legal disciplines, including environ...
A second component of a corporate and securities law practice is advisory. Lawyers in the corporate and securities practice regularly advise their clients on regulatory compliance relating to corporate organizational matters, governance matters and the securities laws.

Compliance with public disclosure and reporting obligations, pursuant to the federal securities laws, requires filing of periodic, quarterly and annual reports with the SEC describing the financial condition and operations of the business. In addition to financial reporting, disclosures are required with respect to oth...
“Corporate governance” work is cross-disciplinary and hard to define. In an issuer-advisory practice at a large law firm, corporate and securities lawyers typically build a longstanding relationship with the general counsel of a business entity, along with other attorneys and business people of the company. They may ra...
Corporate governance continues evolving in response to pressure from stockholders, other constituencies of a corporation, legislative and regulatory reforms and public perception. As a result, directors and senior managers are being held to ever higher standards of conduct. Best practices that corporate governance prac...
The role of the activist shareholder has increased, and although the motivations of this group of shareholders cover a wide range of goals, they do utilize their significant capital to pressure corporations to implement strategies that seek to increase the near-term value of the corporation’s equity. Lawyers advising p...
While many securities lawyers work in private practice at either large national firms or at securities law boutiques, it is very common for larger public companies to have one or more securities lawyers on staff “in-house” to advise management on day to day securities law questions and to manage the company’s represent...
As for litigation, the practice of “securities litigation” is thriving. A securities litigation case typically involves alleged deceptive or manipulative conduct in connection with buying and selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities, whether privately or on an open market like the NYSE or Nasdaq. Cases...
Corporate and securities practitioners are located in most cities of any size throughout the developed world. However, as a general rule in the United States, the larger transactions get executed in the country's commercial centers, with New York City being the hub for the very largest of transactions given the presenc...
This is the foot of Princess Street onto which homeowner Ure Kretowicz was granted permission from the California Coastal Commission to install tile pavers, which some argue would make it look more like a private driveway and thus deter the public from using it.
A long-sought beach access at Princess Street in La Jolla got one step closer by a vote of the California Coastal Commission (CCC) during its Oct. 11 meeting at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside hotel – albeit with some conditions.
The CCC was tasked with reviewing a request from 7957 Princess St. homeowner Ure Kretowicz to 1) amend a permit to remodel and add to his existing single-family home; 2) record vertical and lateral public-access easements on the property title; 3) replace existing paving on the public street-ending with decorative tile...
The easements and signage would assist in the creation of a planned beach-access trail at that location, but would also allow for the installation of decorative tiles (there is currently decorative concrete that is different from the asphalt the City uses to create streets, which some argue already gives the impression...
Many of the speakers who offered public comment emphasized the importance of clarifying that the cul-de-sac is a public right of way and not a private driveway.
All said, the CCC voted 10-1 to approve the collective item.
With the approval, the Environmental Center of San Diego got a vote of confidence to proceed with its plan to create a beach-access trail at that location.
The Environmental Center of San Diego will manage the project to evaluate the site and install a safe and natural-looking trail. Thus far, the Center has surveyed the bluffside, completed a biological assessment to determine the potential impacts to local species, and is prepared to cut back on some brush and complete ...
After receiving a $38,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy, the Center also contracted Rana Creek Living to create design plans. Once the design plans are complete, the Center will fundraise to execute the work.
Prior to the vote, at least six nearby residents signed and submitted a letter outlining their opposition to the planned, public beach-access trail. They cited issues with parking and safety, and said the bluffside into which the trail would be built was unstable and not suitable for public access.
However, the beach access advocates who have sought to reopen the access for decades prevailed.
As previously reported in the Light, the access has been closed by way of a gate that has been posted and locked since the 1970s, when former property owner Jane Baker built her house. Since that time, CCC has requested a public access easement be dedicated.
But the CCC found there was a history of public access at the site, and easement documents were filed with the City of San Diego and the CCC that note there is a public-access lane adjacent the property that will be part of the property record going forward.
The creation of the new federal Opportunity Zone program is enhancing investor interest and placing upward pressure on property valuations in downtown Houston, according to the Deal Sikes property valuation firm.
"Investors are gaining an understanding of the benefits and potential value of property owned in one of the new Opportunity Zones," said Mark Sikes, principal at Deal Sikes. "This is particularly true in downtown Houston where the investment potential is significant. Over the last year, valuations appear to be up 5 or ...
The Opportunity Zone Act, approved by Congress as part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, was designed to promote investment and deliver improvement to distressed communities. Subsequently over 8,000 census tracts around the nation, including over 100 in Harris County, were desgnated as opportunity z...
The Opportunity Zones allow investors to defer capital gains tax if the properties are substantially improved and held for a number of years. If a property is held for 10 years, the capital gains may be permanently excluded from federal taxation.
"The requirement for substantial improvements to the property will likely exclude Class A office towers from the Opportunity Zone benefit," Sikes said. "However, downtown's older commercial buildings, parking lots and obsolete office properties appear to offer investors significant incentive for development and growth ...
The Hines development firm recently started development of a 46-story residential tower in downtown Houston designed to take advantage of the Opportunity Zone tax benefits.
"Sophisticated investors are already making significant moves," said Matthew Deal, principal of Houston-based Deal Sikes. "This trend is likely to spread as the IRS clarifies its regulations and attorneys and tax consultants become more familiar with Opportunity Zones, which offer major federal tax incentives across th...
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who plans within two weeks to announce if he will run for president, said today that if President Obama doesn’t change his mind and order his Justice Department to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, Republicans in Congress should strike back and even consider impeachment proceeding...
It’s difficult to count the problems with Gingrich’s proposal. For starters, Holder’s letter announcing that DOJ will not defend DOMA in court specifically states that DOMA will “continue to be enforced by the Executive Branch.” The only effect of Holder’s announcement is that the Department of Justice will no longer s...
More importantly, if the House does take Gingrich up on his suggestion, it will also need to impeach conservative Chief Justice John Roberts. In 1990, then-acting Solicitor General Roberts refused to defend a federal affirmative action law after he successfully convinced the George H.W. Bush Administration that the law...
Gingrich’s plan to defund Attorney General Holder in retaliation for Holder’s invocation of the Roberts Rule is equally absurd. The Attorney General oversees thousands of federal prosecutors, law enforcement officers and anti-terrorism officials. All of these essential personnel would be handicapped if the Justice Depa...
Moreover, Gingrich’s grandstanding on the defense of marriage is a bit ironic.
The next wave of popular smartphones are still going to be packing Qualcomm processors, but the majority of them will have the new Snapdragon 800. What does that mean for you, exactly, and why does it matter?
If you’ve spent any time with an HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4, you’ve seen first hand with the Snapdragon 600 processor is capable of. In no way could you describe phones running this processor as slow or sluggish, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look to what’s next. After spending some time with the Qualcomm MSM8974, a...
In every way, the Snapdragon 800 is designed to be an incremental bump from the 600. The whole idea is that this chipset will be one step better for tablets, high-end smartphones, and possibly even Windows RT and Chrome OS devices. Qualcomm released the 800 in part of a larger plan to offer multiple performance tiers t...
There’s another, somewhat peculiar piece of hardware in this reference design: a port for SuperSpeed USB 3.0. This port isn’t widely used in the PC world right now, but the design is such that you can continue to use your regular MicroUSB cable for data transfer if you wish. Should you decide to use the SS USB 3.0 port...
What does all of that mean, exactly? The problem with reference hardware is that it’s not designed to deliver a consumer experience. It’s designed to deliver a developer experience, to give developers an idea of what the boundaries for this particular piece of hardware are. As a result, we can run benchmarks until we f...
The big things you’re going to see from the Snapdragon 800 is the ability to do the same thing you do right now, only more efficiently. Games won’t tax the Snapdragon 800 to the point of making the entire device hot to the touch like the HTC One. Playing games at 24FPS to a 2048×1600 display for 30 minutes wasn’t enoug...
Snapdragon 800-based systems will also be capable of more simultaneous tasks, but you’ll see these reflected in new features that become available through Android or through OEM branded features. These includes tools like facial recognition through the camera app, so you can tag photos with friends names and upload to ...
In short, the Snapdragon 800 is exactly what you would expect it to be. Recent reports look like it may be slightly less powerful than Nvidia’s Tegra 4 processor, but the brand recognition and partner support guarantee that you’ll see plenty of these chips this year. Qualcomm has been leading the mobile market for the ...
Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East. 27 March, 2019.
A majority of Security Council members on Wednesday stressed the importance of upholding international law regarding the occupied Golan , in the face of the unilateral move by the United States to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over them.
Israel took over the Golan region, on its northern border with Syria, following the 1967 war, and annexed the area in 1981, which the Security Council declared an illegal act.
The French deputy ambassador, Anne Guegen, told the meeting on Wednesday evening in New York that the European Union had affirmed earlier in the day that its Member States did not recognize Israel’s sovereignty, and that any efforts to override Council resolutions over the land, were “doomed to failure”.
However, the representative for the US, Rodney Hunter, assured the Council that the US decision on the Golan, would not impact the safety or deployment of the UN peacekeeping force deployed to the Golan, known as UNDOF, which monitors the ceasefire between Israel and Syria.
He said UNDOF “continues to have a vital role to play in preserving stability…most importantly by ensuring that the Area of Separation is a buffer zone free from any military presence or activities”. The diplomat noted that the Council should not accept any Syrian efforts to enter the separation zone.
UN Peacekeeping chief, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, briefing the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East.
UN Peacekeeping Operations chief, Jean Pierre Lacroix, told the meeting that the ceasefire monitored by UNDOF had held, despite numerous violations: “It is critical that the parties at all times respect the Disengagement of Forces Agreement to maintain stability on the Golan”, he said.
The UN’s head of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo, reiterated the view of the Secretary-General António Guterres, expressed earlier this week, that “the status of the Golan has not changed” in the light of the US decision.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of Italy's most respected wines.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is not having a midlife crisis.
Not long after the DOC (Denominazione di origine controllata) system was implemented 52 years ago, in 1966 in Italy, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano became one of the country’s first DOC wines. In 1980, when the country introduced an even higher designation of quality — the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Gar...
The town of Montepulciano sits in southeastern Tuscany, about 75 miles southeast of Florence and 25 miles southeast of Siena, for quick map-location purposes. The sangiovese grapes that serve as the basis of the wine’s composition grow on nearby hillsides in vineyards situated anywhere from about 800 feet elevation all...
This is a wine for anyone who enjoys a formidable, medium-bodied, dry red that also offers some elegance and not just pure power. Often brimming with plum, cherry, raspberry and floral notes, these wines can settle and age into more savory tobacco, wood, leather and spice expressions, all wrapped in silky or velvety te...
The classic food pairing with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is wild boar ragu, but let’s just say you don’t have access to that dish every day. In that case, Vino Nobile’s prominent acidity and firm tannins will match well with other similarly hearty tomato-based pasta dishes and game meats, along with stews and good ol...
Just in case you have open slots in your cellar, take note that these wines are ageable, some for a decade or much longer, thanks to that acidity and tannin, plus alcohol levels that begin at 12.5 percent and can rise up to 14 percent or more in the case of some Riserva wines. Before they are released, Vino Nobile wine...
About a fifth of all Vino Nobile bottles are sold in the United States, which means this is an easy-to-find wine style. Some bottle prices can soar, but very good examples can be found without much effort in the $25 to $35 range. To save some money, you could also look for Rosso di Montepulciano DOC wine, the baby sibl...
Rosso is no substitute for Vino Nobile; use it only as an addition, for comparison purposes. And certainly don’t confuse Vino Nobile di Montepulciano or Rosso di Montepulciano with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The latter is a wine made of the montepulciano grape variety in the Abruzzo region, east of Rome.
As far as years to look for, the governing body of the Vino Nobile appellation declared “exceptional” five-star vintages in 2015 and 2012, and “excellent” four-star vintages in 2013, and 2011 back to 2008. Don’t shy away from the three-star 2014 vintage, though. Bargains can sometimes be found among the less-heralded y...
Below are notes from a recent tasting of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines. They are listed in ascending order according to price.

Retail technology accelerator Eccomplished and digital innovation and investment hub Haatch have launched an investment forum for retail technology startups.
A selection of the UK’s most innovative retail technology startups will be given 10 minutes to pitch their ideas to angel and venture capital investors at an event in May. The companies will be looking for early-stage funding to “reinvent retail”.
This is the second year Eccomplished’s Retail 20:20 event has taken place, and this year it has partnered with Haatch, an investment hub founded by Kiddicare.com founder Scott Weavers-Wright.
Baby equipment specialist Kiddicare discovered an innovative solution for in-store labelling from a company called ZBD Solutions. Its digital labels replaced costly and labour-intensive paper signage and can be updated wirelessly, which helps the store to sharpen its competitive edge.
Kiddicare is not the only retailer that is looking to technology to solve a number of challenges in the retail sector, including connecting in-store, online and mobile channels to create a seamless customer experience, and encouraging customers to continue shopping on the high street.
Retail 20:20 will take place on 13 May at the Soho Hotel in London. Startups and investors that want to take part should go to Eccomplished’s website.

The tour seems pretty diverse too, considering its covers it bases from moshing insanity to technically efficient. Get the dates below!
ALLEGAEON Premieres Classical Acoustic Piece "Colors Of The Currents"
Minnesota college freshman Brandon Swanson, shown with his sister, Jamine, disappeared in May 2008.
New York (CNN) -- It was the last day of classes, and Brandon Swanson, a 19-year-old freshman at Minnesota West Community and Technical College, was celebrating with his friends.
Swanson called home shortly after midnight May 14, 2008, telling his parents he needed a ride because he had driven into a ditch in the neighboring town of Lynd, Minnesota. Annette and Brian Swanson immediately set out in their pickup to look for their son and his green Chevy Lumina sedan.
"We got in the pickup to go to this spot where he felt he was," Brian Swanson recalled. He thought he knew exactly where his son was, about 10 minutes from their home in Marshall.
"He was absolutely positive he knew where he was," Brian Swanson said. The parents stayed on the phone, talking to their son as they headed to pick him up.
But when they arrived, there was no car and no Brandon. They turned around and flashed the lights on their truck.
"We were saying, 'We're flashing our lights!' " Annette Swanson said. Over the phone, they could hear their son working the light switch in his car. Click-click, click-click.
"Don't you see me?" he asked.
"There was nothing," his father said, "absolutely nothing."
"At one point, he hung up on me, so I called him back and apologized," his mother said.
Swanson told his parents he would walk back to his friend's house in Lynd. His father drove home to drop Annette off and then headed back to look for the teen. They exchanged calls just before 2 a.m. and eventually carried on a long conversation while the younger Swanson was walking, trying to direct his father to wher...
He told his father to look for him at a nightclub parking lot that was a popular meeting spot in Lynd. But at the 47-minute mark, the call ended abruptly. The teen shouted an expletive, and the phone went dead.
We called at least five or six more times. He never picked up the phone again.
It was the last time anyone heard from him.
