Mauro Palumbo

Businesses regularly engage in a myriad of complex corporate, commercial and securities transactions. Mauro leverages over two decades of practice to provide creative, strategic and practical solutions to assist issuers, investors and entrepreneurs navigate the complex legal and regulatory issues on matters of commercial, corporate finance and securities law.

Junior issuers and venture investors often negotiate creative corporate, commercial and securities transactions; transactions which require equally creative structures and solutions. Mauro has cultivated long-term relationships with investors, issuers and other capital market participants, and draws upon his experience and those relationships to structure and execute transactions that will achieve his client’s objectives in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Corporate finance and securities law are highly regulated fields, and completing a successful transaction often involves more than understanding and conveying the strict legal requirements to a client. Transactions undertaken in the capital markets often involve many players, and there is nuance and negotiation at every turn. Understanding what the other participants need to achieve is imperative in order to properly advise and guide a party on any such matter, and to obtain a successful result.
