Securities law refers to the state and federal statutes and administrative law related to corporate finance and investment. Securities law relates most specifically to the law and administrative rulings of the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates how corporations and other forms of business can raise money from investors. Securities law involves both the way that money can be raised by a business and the way the money is handled by the business after it has been invested. Securities law violations present a serious risk to businesses and individual executives. Therefore, a competent securities lawyer is a key part of the corporate law team, especially when money is raised and securities (stock) are offered to the public.
