01
Hands-on, practical experience — for clients, and for effective resolution.
Evans Law, PC
A firm built on hands-on experience.
A securities and corporate practice for companies raising capital, and for the broker-dealers, investment advisers and representatives who handle it.
Evans Law, PC advises on securities offerings and the agreements that govern ventures, on the regulation of broker-dealers and investment advisers, and on the investigations, arbitrations and litigation that follow when something is disputed.
Strategic counsel, from the transaction to the dispute.
Evans Law, PC is dedicated to providing experienced and strategic legal counsel to help clients manage risk, structure transactions, protect and maximize opportunities, pursue remedies, resolve disputes and advance their business.
The firm represents individuals, firms and companies in prelitigation counseling and in adversarial and administrative proceedings — before state and federal courts, alternative resolution forums including AAA, FINRA and JAMS, and state and federal regulatory agencies across the United States. That work ranges from securities litigation and customer disputes to collection and employment matters, and to SEC and FINRA investigations and enforcement actions.
The corporate practice addresses the challenges clients face across private equity and debt, venture capital, corporate securities, private offerings and hedge funds, joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions. That means complex securities transactions, private placement memoranda, financing agreements, partnerships, alliance transactions, stock options and warrants, and key employee compensation.
