RMDT’s Capital Markets & Securities practice provides comprehensive legal counsel to issuers, intermediaries, investors, and market infrastructure participants across the full spectrum of capital markets transactions and regulatory matters. Our lawyers support clients in accessing domestic and international capital markets while ensuring ongoing compliance with complex and evolving securities, market abuse, and financial services regulatory frameworks.
Our lawyers advise on a wide range of capital markets and structured finance transactions, including initial public offerings and secondary offerings, private placements, rights issues, exchange and tender offers, public-to-private transactions, and the restructuring and refinancing of senior, subordinated, and hybrid debt. We provide counsel on equity and equity-linked instruments, convertible and exchangeable securities, commercial paper programmes, medium-term note programmes, green, social, and sustainability-linked instruments, and other innovative financing structures, as well as venture capital and growth-stage financing.
The practice has developed particular strength in the establishment and operation of regulated investment and financial services structures, including the set-up and ongoing regulatory support of investment firms (SSIFs) and collective investment undertakings, specialized securitization cells and other investment compartments, and a broad range of securitization, asset-backed, and structured finance transactions. RMDT also advises on the creation and authorization of multilateral trading facilities and other online and offline trading venues, including regulatory licensing, governance, outsourcing arrangements, technology-driven compliance solutions, and interaction with competent authorities.
Our team regularly assists clients with the cross-border provision of investment services, including a wide range of passporting arrangements, the marketing of financial instruments and collective investment undertakings across multiple jurisdictions, cross-border distribution strategies, market access, and regulatory change management. We advise on prospectus and disclosure requirements, ongoing reporting obligations, market abuse prevention, corporate governance, insider dealing and transparency regimes, and securities enforcement and compliance matters.
RMDT brings extensive experience across corporate, securities, banking, and commercial law as it relates to complex financing and capital markets transactions involving domestic and foreign corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, investment funds, financial institutions, fintech operators, and public-sector entities. In structuring and executing transactions, our capital markets lawyers work seamlessly with colleagues across the firm’s tax, competition, employment, regulatory, and dispute-resolution practices, as well as with sector-focused teams in industries such as technology, telecommunications, transportation, energy, natural resources, chemicals, and infrastructure.
Leveraging the firm’s network and deep understanding of both local regulatory environments and global capital markets practice, RMDT is well positioned to advise on multi-jurisdictional transactions and regulatory matters in an efficient, pragmatic, and cost-effective manner.
