Capital Markets: Practicing U.S. Law in London

Andrea Tompkins is a capital markets partner at a global law firm based in London. She started her career at a Magic Circle firm (she'll explain that) after earning her J.D. in the U.S (she'll explain how to do that too). Andrea specializes in advising large companies and international investment banks on U.S. federal securities laws. She describes the intricacies of raising capital through equity and debt, the importance of material disclosures in securities offerings, and the process of guiding clients through IPOs and other public market transactions. While a capital markets practice can be downright volatile, it affords her an interesting role in engines of capitalism. Andrea is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Access LawHub today!Learn more about Vermont LawLearn more about Baylor LawRoger Williams School of LawLearn more about Roger Williams School of LawLearn more about Blueprint7Sage Admissions ConsultingLearn more about 7SageLearn more about Seton Hall
