He also counsels boards and management on corporate governance, disclosure obligations, executive compensation, incentive equity, periodic reporting, Section 16 compliance and stock exchange requirements.
For private companies, Alex guides founders, sponsors and investors through the IPO process, helping them overcome the regulatory, operational and market hurdles of going public. He supports private and public companies through financings, mergers and acquisitions, liability management exercises and restructurings.
