Private Placements and Limited Offerings of Securities - A Guide for the Arkansas Practitioner

Private Placements and Limited Offerings is written primarily for Arkansas lawyers who are not specialists in securities law. It is written especially for lawyers whose practice includes representing small business clients in structuring ownership rights and arranging financing for small corporations, LLCs, and other types of business organizations or enterprises. Lawyers who overlook the potential application of the securities laws do so at their peril. If securities are involved, the lawyer who assists in structuring the enterprise may inadvertently subject his or her client to liability (and may subject the lawyer to malpractice claims that malpractice insurance may not cover). If disputes arise over control or financial rights in the small business enterprise, the lawyer who is unfamiliar with securities law may not recognize potential claims or defenses. This book is meant to help lawyers in either case to identify situations in which securities law is implicated. Check www.arkbar.com for supplements.
