About

Provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates

The SEC reporting and compliance practice at Skadden advises public and private companies, management, boards of directors and board committees on a full range of matters involving securities offerings and compliance and disclosure matters under the Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the related SEC rules and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market and other stock markets. 

A number of our lawyers have served as staff members of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, holding senior management positions such as deputy director of the Division of Corporation Finance and chief of the SEC’s Office of Mergers and Acquisitions. One of the key services that members of this practice provide to our clients is the regular assistance of a consistent and dedicated team to prepare, review and advise on current and periodic Exchange Act reports, proxy statements and other filings made with the SEC. This approach allows our lawyers to remain current with the specific disclosure and compliance issues our clients are facing and to serve them in the most efficient and effective manner.
