What is Securities Law?

Securities law governs how businesses issue and sell ownership interests (like stocks or convertible notes) and how investors buy them. The goal is to ensure transparency, fairness, and protection for all parties involved in capital markets.

Both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the US Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) regulate these transactions. Even for private companies that are not publicly traded, offering equity or raising funds can trigger important legal requirements—such as providing disclosures, filing exemption notices, and following advertising restrictions.

Non-compliance can result in fines, investor lawsuits, or even criminal liability. That’s why it’s essential to work with an experienced securities attorney
