• We are among the most competitively priced law firms in the nation, given our level of skill and experience.
• Our team has more than 50 years of combined securities law experience, and our objective in serving clients is not to simply draft a crowdfunding memorandum. Instead, our objective is to draft an offering that will protect our clients against potential future civil and criminal allegations in the event that investors aren’t satisfied with the outcome of their investment.
• You need expertly drafted offering documents to raise capital through a crowdfunding offering, but you also need experts who know how to raise capital through crowdfunding, and no firm in the US today has done this longer than we have.

Our Skill and Experience

We are a boutique law firm that possesses the same level of skill and experience as a mid-size or a large law firm. Each of our attorneys has more than a decade of legal experience, and most are graduates of top schools in the U.S. Our team is comprised of a former Morgan Stanley in-house attorney, a former Securities and Exchange Commission staff reviewer, a former litigator with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, and other attorneys who were trained by and worked at large and prestigious law firms.

Two Veteran Lawyers on Every Project

Why? Because we believe that this level of redundancy is necessary to draft securities offering documents in order to properly protect clients from the risk of future potential civil and criminal prosecution.

We Can Protect You Better

Since we are also securities litigators, we represent investors in securities fraud actions. These are litigation actions where investors have invested in offerings and have become dissatisfied with the results of the offering.

Experience with Distribution

We are the only fully staffed law firm in the US today that has an affiliated capital consulting firm that has over a decade of experience raising capital for crowdfunding type offerings. In addition, most law firms truly don’t know what is involved with raising capital due to a lack of hands-on capital markets experience. Our attorneys aren’t just former law firm attorneys; many of our attorneys have worked directly for issuers that have issued hundreds of millions of dollars in securities. This provides our lawyers with extensive real world securities distribution experience and allows us to furnish our clients with necessary direction that other less experienced attorneys cannot.

In addition, our law firm’s relationship with our capital consulting firm makes us legal and consulting experts in the area of crowdfunding. Centarus Business Consultants, Ltd, our affiliated capital consulting firm is comprised of former investment bankers who are experts with raising capital through crowdfunding.

Competitively Priced

We offer flat fee pricing that is extremely competitive when you consider our skill and experience.
