Securities Lawyer

For companies seeking a securities lawyer, Russell C. Weigel, III’s Securities and Exchange Commission experience and perspective is useful in counseling his clients. As a government attorney for more than ten years, Mr. Weigel has reviewed for material misstatements scores of filed SEC Forms S-1, S-2, SB-2, S-8, 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, and other related documents, including private placement memoranda used in connection with securities sales under Regulation D and Regulation S.

Now as a securities lawyer in the private sector for several years, he is skilled in drafting SEC forms in the SEC "plain English" style and analyzes proposed client filings with a view towards facilitating the SEC comment process by identifying and resolving potential SEC and/or investor concerns before the filings are made public, and with a view towards prevention of litigation. Although he is based in Miami, Florida, Mr. Weigel has counseled corporate clients around the United States in Regulation A, D, and S offerings, blue sky compliance and registration, the formation of hedge funds, the filing of Form S-1 and 10 registration statements, periodic reporting on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, the review of proposed investor relations disclosures, disclosure matters for non-reporting companies, and in the structuring and execution of merger and acquisition transactions.

As a securities lawyer, Mr. Weigel also counsels private and public companies in matters of general corporate law, most often the laws of Delaware, Florida, and Nevada, including corporate clean-up matters, and the preparation of companies for mergers, corporate restructurings, shareholder buyouts, and transfers of control requiring regulatory approval, and advises on stock transfers and general incorporation matters. Mr. Weigel drafts company policies and procedures, board of directors and shareholder consents, disclosure forms, employment agreements, and other essential corporate documents.

Mr. Weigel's philosophy for corporation financing is that he represents clients in boring transactions. By "boring" he means clean, simple transactions where all parties involved can easily see where they stand and what the results for them will be. He is not interested in creative transactions or creative financing arrangements which he believes are more likely to result in litigation.

Mr. Weigel's law firm can be flexible in its fee structure to suit prospective corporation financing clients.

Mr. Weigel also advises companies and individuals in industry and government regulatory and criminal investigations throughout the United States.
