Peter I. Dunn, a partner in Casner & Edwards’ Business & Corporate Group, will serve as a faculty member for the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education’s (MCLE) “Start-Up Securities Issues” Program on Sept, 27 from 11:00 am–1:00 pm. An on-demand webcast will be available after Oct. 13 at www.mcle.org.
The MCLE program will help lawyers who advise start-ups understand the typical financing options for start-up companies, when they are used, and the associated legal obligations to ensure compliance and avoid potential adverse legal, financial and reputational consequences for the issuers. The program will also include an “Ask the Expert” session.
Dunn practices in corporate and securities law, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, offerings of debt and equity securities. He represents emerging companies in all phases of their startup activities, including formation, equity compensation, capital raising and exits. He also acts as outside general counsel to closely held and family-owned businesses across a range of industries, including technology, life sciences, IT consulting, construction services and transportation. He has written and presented on legal issues affecting the legal and business communities.
MCLE is the Massachusetts legal community's premier provider of hands-on educational programs and reference materials. Its particular focus is applied law: practical, highly concrete training for attorneys in the essential elements of professional practice.
