Richard Baumann is a corporate finance and securities lawyer specializing in equity and debt capital markets offerings.  For over 15 years, Rich has represented global and regional investment banks and securities issuers in equity IPOs, high yield and investment-grade debt offers and other substantial capital markets transactions.  For much of that time, Rich was based in London, and advised on cross-border transactions originating throughout Europe and Asia.  In recent years he has been especially active on transactions arising out of Scandinavia, India and China. 

Rich’s transactions have involved listings on most of the world’s leading stock exchanges, including those in New York, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Mumbai and Hong Kong, among others.  The issuers in Rich’s deals have come from a broad range of industries, including transportation, energy, utilities, tech, biotech, real estate, banking, construction and consumer products. 

In addition to securities offerings, Rich advises on US broker-dealer regulation, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate and securities matters, including in cross-border contexts.  Rich was a litigator for many years, and brings both corporate and litigation experience to bear when counseling clients, particularly smaller clients and clients new to the US.
