He puts all of his experience to work, taking into consideration the implications of each plan as it pertains to the overall interests of his clients.

Success Story:

A public company in the service sector found an opportunity to acquire some much needed capital. However, they came to Guy for advice on the governance impact of the transaction on their business operations. Guy helped them evaluate the need for capital in a tough economic climate against the unknowns of the transaction, including compliance with foreign securities and corporate laws. In order to move forward, Guy helped the client create a security with unique terms designed to comply with regulatory requirements and also satisfy the needs of both the client and the investor. The transaction went smoothly, and the client’s business was able to expand into a new segment.
