Securities/ Fundraising

Securities law requires a close eye to detail, insuring compliance with several layers of regulation at the federal law (Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Investment Company Act of 1940, Investor Advisors Act of 1940, and Trust Indenture Act of 1939, Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, and JOBS Act of 2012) and their attendant regulations, as well as the state level. Securities regulations can be harsh and unforgiving, although recent openings in re: crowdfunding, represent new opportunities for founders and entrepreneurs, as well as small business owners, but the landscape is fraught. Let us help you simplify and demystify the process.

We have worked with entrepreneurs in real estate, mobile applications, and pooled investments to help them efficiently and successfully navigate these waters. We can do it for you as well.

Digital Media & Technology

We have represented mobile app developers in areas as diverse as real property management, social networking, and partisan politics. Software and now artificial intelligence, along with stringent data usage regulations in the US and abroad, require careful examination of the all the potential legal issues and pitfalls. We stay on top of the fast moving landscape and assist you in competing by removing the fear and worry around this quickly evolving legal area.

We have worked with entrepreneurs and founders, engineers, working on startups and at well established companies. We help entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their products. We also negotiate and draft purchasing and partnership agreements as well talent and participation agreements and agreements with service providers.

Real Property/ Land Use

Every real property deal or opportunity is unique. Some require serious changes to zoning and land use, other are a matter of finding the best financing. Some require large capital investments and others investments are best served with minimal outlay. Each scenario is different. At Denson Law Group, we can provide assistance in any scenario. We can advise on financing or land use, transfer of title in an estate planning scenario or between partner developers and a newly formed company. Whatever, the scenario let us help you.

Entertainment

We have worked in production legal for many years, working on documentaries, scripted projects, as well as spec scripts and sizzle reel projects. Entertainment law is multi-disciplinary, combining general business and corporate with employment law, intellectual property, labor law, as well as unique areas of tort law, and if relevant securities law. Demystifying and ensuring all these areas of law are covered and your best interests are protected is our priority.
