Since its beginning, Hamilton & Associates has focused on securities law and assisting issuers who go public on the OTC Markets, NASDAQ and NYSE. Its founder Brenda Hamilton, a securities attorney is also recognized for forensic analysis of complex securities frauds, reverse merger transactions, white collar fraud and securities trading schemes involving microcap stocks. The firm’s securities lawyers have represented more than 300 market participants in going public transactions, corporate finance, SEC investigations, SEC defense and other securities law matters.
The firm’s securities lawyers assist issuers during the going public process in all aspects of SEC & OTC Markets compliance including: ♦ SEC Registration statements for IPO’s and Direct Public Offerings, ♦ Ticker symbol assignment from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”); ♦ Electronic trading eligibility from Depository Trust Company (“DTC”); ♦ OTC Markets Reporting & Disclosure; and ♦ Due Diligence in Acquisitions and Reverse Merger Transactions. Because our securities lawyers do things the right way when assisting issuers who go public our clients obtain public company status and DTC eligibility without unnecessary delays. Since our beginning our end goal has remained the same — to provide highly skilled and efficient representation the right way, for the issuer. |

About DTC "Many issuers and their counsel do not know that certain transactions increase the risk of losing DTC eligibility. Without eligibility, it is impossible for an issuer to developer liquidity in their shares. If eligibility is lost, specific criteria must be followed by the issuer to remove a DTC chill which includes that a DTC participant make a request for eligibility.” Brenda Lee Hamilton |
Reverse Mergers Truths "New Rules and Regulations prevent Public Shell Companies from completing their reverse merger transactions and cause the loss of DTC eligibility. Because of these new regulations, Direct Public Offerings are less expensive and faster than reverse merger transactions without risking their DTC eligbility. The wild wild west days of the reverse merger are over.” Brenda Lee Hamilton |
