For nearly two decades, Peter Devlin has advised clients in connection with transformative financing transactions and day-to-day disclosure and corporate governance matters.

Peter's broad experience ranges from global, Fortune 500 manufacturing companies to emerging life sciences companies, providing him with deep knowledge and perspective across the full spectrum of public and private securities offerings and with respect to critically important disclosure and governance issues.

In addition to U.S. companies, Peter has significant experience advising international clients on U.S. securities laws, corporate governance matters, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, and stock exchange rules and regulations, including guiding several foreign private issuers through the legal and practical aspects of the public offering process in the United States.

Peter has worked with issuers across many different industries, including agricultural technology, biotechnology, financial technology, financial services, insurance, transportation, shipping, consumer products, manufacturing, telecommunications, and education.

His transactional experience includes complex capital markets transactions, including initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on equity offerings (primary and secondary), private placements and private investment in public equity (PIPEs), and a range of debt transactions (investment grade, high yield, and convertible). Peter also advises on U.S. securities aspects of merger and acquisition transactions, reverse mergers, and go-private transactions.
