He assists clients in private placements of securities, preparation of proxy statements and periodic reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and public offerings of securities.
John has represented both borrowers and commercial lenders in financing the acquisition of financial institutions. He has represented sellers and purchasers of financial institutions.
