About Attorney Awards

Securities - Corporate

Attorneys in the Securities (Corporate) practice assist our business clients with all aspects of securities law. We counsel clients on the structuring of public and private securities offerings and merger and acquisition, reorganization, tender offer and going-private transactions. We also assist in the preparation of necessary filings for these transactions. In connection with extraordinary corporate transactions involving public companies that are not clients of the firm, our attorneys frequently act as counsel to special committees of the board of directors. We provide ongoing assistance to public company clients in connection with their reporting and other disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We also assist in the structuring and drafting of stock-based compensation plans and in the negotiation and preparation of employment agreements.

Our attorneys assist our business clients with all aspects of securities law, including compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registration requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the requirements of state "Blue Sky" laws.

Several of our attorneys focus primarily on private businesses, ranging from dotcoms to well-established, large corporations. They assist these clients with private placements of securities and other financing transactions. Other members of our department represent venture capital firms and banks.

We assist both our public and private company clients in diverse matters of corporate law and governance, including capital structuring, buy-sell and registration rights agreements and all other matters involving the securities of the entity.

Diversity

embracing the benefits of many perspectives.

At Taft, we are committed to creating an inclusive culture of individuals from diverse backgrounds.  This commitment allows us to fulfill our primary mission—serving our clients to the highest standards of professional excellence.  But a diverse culture benefits our professionals as well:  it fosters teamwork and opportunities for professional growth and personal satisfaction. 

Taft gives fair and equal treatment to all employees and applicants for employment regardless of race, gender, color, ancestry, religion or creed, age, national origin, disability, marital or civil union status, familial status, veteran status, or sexual orientation.  More than that, Taft actively seeks to hire and promote diverse, talented professionals. 

The following examples highlight Taft’s efforts to foster diversity in the firm:

  • Recruitment.  Taft participates in and sponsors internships and clerkships that provide substantive legal experience to women, law students of color and law students from a variety of diverse backgrounds.  Taft actively recruits these individuals by working collaboratively with student organizations and attending job fairs, conferences and workshops. 
  • Retention.  Retention of our attorneys is a key element of the firm’s long-term success.  We nurture well-rounded professionals from a variety of backgrounds through mentoring, training and professional development programs.  Beyond just retaining valued members of our team, we seek to provide them with the skills to enable them to continue to grow as attorneys.
  • Work and life balance.  Taft recognizes that a healthy balance between a professional's work and private life is essential to lasting success, for both the individual and the firm.  Taft offers alternative work-scheduling programs, remote access, flexible hours and countless opportunities for meaningful community involvement both within and outside of Taft.
  • Promotion and leadership.  Taft is proud that 60% of its new partners in the last four years were women.  Diverse professionals  also are involved in firm leadership and actively participate in recruiting and mentoring.

These examples provide a clear perspective on Taft’s commitment to its diversity mission.  And while Taft has made great strides in improving its diversity, we constantly strive to find new and better ways to promote diversity as a meaningful part of the way we do business.
