Peter R. Spirgel, Flaster/Greenberg managing shareholder, and Markley S. Roderick, Flaster/Greenberg shareholder and chair of the Mergers and Acquisitions Practice Group, will present the seminar. The program will address key issues such as how to raise and find money, what investors look for and how they take control of a company, what happens after a business is sold, and the definitions of "drag along" rights and "come along" rights. Additional discussion will cover the rules governing private offerings and the opportunities available to smaller companies looking to raise capital through a private offering of interests in the company.
