Three decades of securities-law experience. That’s the power behind our passion. We practice corporate and securities law and nothing else. Because of our razor-sharp focus, we know this area of the law inside out. We help people comply with federal and California securities laws, people like: --Entrepreneurs who are ready to accelerate growth by raising outside capital. --Directors and officers who must discharge fiduciary obligations and comply with government regulations. --Financial professionals like broker-dealers, investment bankers, investment advisors, accountants and lawyers who are sued in court by private parties or government agencies. --Institutional and individual investors who have been defrauded. The highly specialized and complex field of securities law comes into play whenever companies raise capital from investors. Selling securities is heavily regulated. The cost of a misstep can include personal liability to investors or to government agencies. Mark Hiraide’s primary function is to help you avoid liability or government action. We fight in court for those accused of or victimized by abuses of the financial system. When justice demands a lawsuit, we will put our three decades of legal experience to work for you in the courtroom. Because of our depth of experience, other lawyers look to us for instruction on the JOBS Act. For years, we’ve taught corporate and securities law through seminars we’ve conducted and journal articles and books we’ve authored. We often are called to testify in court and before government bodies as experts in our field. But the primary beneficiaries of our knowledge always are our clients. Mark T. Hiraide offers unique insight and perspective to his clients because of his former position as an SEC enforcement attorney and because he has handled both courtroom litigation and business transactions during his 30 years as a corporate and securities lawyer.
