Securities and Exchange Commission Lawyers

Securities is a formal term for stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission is a federal government agency that oversees the public stock markets, the process by which businesses raise money, the process by which businesses conduct an initial public offering and a wide range of affairs related to how companies raise capital and use it. Many lawyers work before the Securities and Exchange Commission, either for the Commission or in private practice. Lawyers with a Securities and Exchange Commission practice typically counsel businesses about how to raise and use money, how to conduct an initial public offering and also defend against Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuits filed by people or the government. Many lawyers also work for the Securities and Exchange Commission, investigating companies and filing lawsuits.
