We have extensive experience advising issuers, underwriters, selling shareholders and others on all capital markets transactions and products, including:
IPOs and Other Equity
S&C is a leading Firm for IPOs, having worked on more than 700 IPOs globally, including six of the 10 largest of all time. We advise on all types of equity transactions, from follow-on and secondary offerings to equity-linked securities and equity derivatives.
Debt
S&C is the #1 ranked law firm representing issuers in global bonds from 2019-2023, with more than $396 billion in transaction value (Bloomberg). We advise on investment grade, high-yield, medium-term notes, sovereign debt and sustainability, social and green bond offerings.
Corporate Governance and Disclosure
We regularly counsel clients on evolving corporate governance and disclosure matters and the impact ESG considerations may have on their businesses and stakeholder relationships. Our experience includes advising on the use of frameworks; changes in rules and enforcement activity relating to governance, cybersecurity, climate and human capital; preparing for and responding to shareholder proposals; and the development of new disclosure.
As SPACs have become a commonly-used tool for capital formation and deployment, and have faced increasing regulatory and market scrutiny, S&C has remained at the forefront. We offer insight on the careful planning required to drive each step of the life of a SPAC or a company seeking to go public through a de-SPAC transaction to a successful completion.
PIPEs
S&C advises investors, issuers and placement agents on the entire range of financial products, including common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants.
