She regularly advises both US and multinational companies in connection with internal investigations and enforcement actions conducted by the US Department of Justice, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal and state enforcement agencies.

A significant portion of her practice includes representation of exchange-listed REITs in initial public offerings, secondary offerings, at-the-market offerings and follow-on public offerings of debt and equity securities, as well as private securities offerings under Rule 144A and Regulation D. She also represents leading investment banking firms in initial public offerings and follow-on public and private offerings of equity and debt securities.
