Helping companies, from the newest startups to the most established corporations, secure the money to grow is the heart of our corporate finance practice. Our lawyers help clients structure, negotiate and acquire the debt and equity financing they need to fuel their expansion. We understand a company’s balance sheet will reflect its ability to build its future. Our advice reflects a commitment to the client’s entire business strategy, not just the financing process.

Manning Fulton’s corporate finance lawyers are experienced in a full range of private equity, debt and asset based financings. Representative transactions include:

• Private placement debt offerings
• Syndicated debt offerings
• Private capital formation, including Regulation D offerings
• Angel and venture capital financing
• Employee stock offerings
• Employee stock ownership plans (ESOP)
• Acquisition financing
• Asset-based lending.

Our lawyers counsel clients about federal and state securities law requirements and filings in connection with debt and equity securities offerings, private placements and capital raising, including compliance with "blue sky" anti-fraud laws.

Private financings through venture capitalists, including various credit facilities and enhancements, are important but complex sources of capital for any company. Manning Fulton has represented borrowers in private equity transactions, bridge loans, initial private debt placements, renewals and extensions. In these, as in all financing transactions, we help our clients grow, prudently and effectively.
