In our experience, only a few select companies successfully transition from private entities to public companies. Companies which have made the difficult decision to offer their shares to public investors and to list their shares on a stock exchange are faced with a large number of ever-changing regulatory obligations which must be met. Directors and officers of publicly-listed companies are expected to both understand these obligations and to ensure that their companies remain in compliance.
We have the experience to guide your company through the steps required to successfully complete the initial public offering of its securities. We also offer a wide range of corporate secretarial and regulatory compliance services to companies which are currently listed or plan to list on a Canadian stock exchange. Our services include:
- advising management on continuous disclosure issues and general compliance with stock exchange policies, securities law and corporate law requirements
- working with management to prepare annual information forms, quarterly and annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis in accordance with regulatory requirements
- assisting management with preparation of annual and special shareholder meeting notices, materials and minutes
- advising board of directors on regulatory compliance and corporate governance issue ses
