Griffin Foster is passionate about helping public and private companies satisfy their ongoing compliance obligations and execute strategic transactions, including offerings, mergers and acquisitions. To date, Griffin has helped Faegre Drinker clients close deals across a broad range of industries, including technology, banking, compliance services, manufacturing, health care and transportation — to the tune of nearly $10 billion.

Capital Markets

Griffin represents both issuers and investment banks in public and private debt and equity offerings, including high-yield and investment grade debt issuances, initial public offerings, confidentially marketed public offerings, and at-the-market offering programs. These transactions have ranged in size from less than $5 million to over $1 billion.

Griffin also represents developers, investment banks and lenders in project finance transactions, with a focus on utilizing tax-exempt bonds and federal loan guarantee programs in the alternative energy and renewable chemical industries.

Public Companies

Griffin advises public companies on their governance processes and compliance obligations under federal and state law, including Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, fiduciary duties and “blue sky” laws. Griffin also counsels clients on stock exchange rules and the voting policies and practices of proxy advisory firms and large institutional shareholders.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Griffin represents both buyers and sellers, including closely held private companies and publicly traded corporations, in domestic and cross-border transactions that have ranged in size from less than $50 million to greater than $2 billion in total consideration.
