Who We Are
Centarus Companies is a Tradename for two companies: Centarus Legal Services, PC and Centarus Business Consultants, Ltd. Our lawyers, due diligence experts, consultant, and affiliated investment bankers work closely together so that the legal and business aspects of an engagement are thoroughly addressed. The capital raising process is a three step process, which few people can explain. It begins with “institutional quality” legal materials. Next, it involves the creation of “institutional quality” sales materials (which convey the value proposition to investors). And lastly, investors have to be sourced directly by the client or through introductions obtained through our affiliated investment banking firm
Read MoreSecurities & Corporate Legal Services
Our lawyers each have an average of 15 years of corporate and securities drafting experience, and their backgrounds, experience, and education match or exceed the backgrounds of lawyers at many of the largest law firms in America. In addition, our legal team’s experience is distinguishable from other mid sized or large law firms in that we solely focus on securities law matters and corporate law matters related to securities issues. We are not just a specialty firm, but we are lawyer’s lawyers because most of our legal work originates from other lawyers.
Read MoreNon-Traditional Law Firm Approach
We are a non traditional law firm because we are the only law firm in the US today that not only provides best in class securities legal services, but we are the only firm in the country that has staff at our other affiliated companies that are able to assist with every aspect of the capital raising process. The process begins with the drafting of offering documents, but this is only the beginning. From that point on, there are many aspects of the process of capital raising that 99% of law firms cannot assist with. The parts of the process that follow the legal work are the selling materials and the marketing of the offering. While there are a few firms in the US that claim to be able to do some or all of this work, most of them are not licensed lawyers or are not licensed bankers. Thus, they are not equipped to professionally assist clients in achieving their objectives.
