Topic: How To Raise Capital Legally

Speaker: Brian J. Burt, Partner, with Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., and Chair of the firm’s Emerging Business Group.   

To start or expand a business, you need capital. Raising capital, however, is one of the most difficult challenges that a company can undertake. In the current economy, investors at all levels have become increasingly risk-averse, resulting in even greater competition for their limited investment dollars. And heightened regulatory scrutiny by the SEC means that compliance with securities laws has never been more important. Learn how to successfully navigate the process.
