Publisher's Synopsis
Formerly known as "Understanding the Securities Laws" by Larry D Soderquist, this retitled new edition continues the late author's widely respected tradition of providing incisive coverage of the very latest securities law developments with unrivaled insight into the Securities Act, Exchange Act, and subsequent major decisional law and SEC actions. Soderquist on the Securities Laws spotlights the SEC's new securities offering reforms, which are critically important to companies that access public securities markets, investment banking firms that underwrite public offerings, and attorneys who advise these market participants. It shows how these new initiatives are enhancing securities offering and communication processes as well as investor protection. Soderquist on the Securities Laws gives you a vital understanding of how these new rules significantly change the way issuers act and communicate with respect to registered offerings and how these rules eliminate unnecessary and outmoded restrictions on the capital-raising process. You will see how the rules create new categories of issuers who have new communication opportunities, restrictions, and registration options -- a new class of permissible written communications.
