Orange County securities attorneys and law firms deal with
the laws that regulate the exchange and issuance of stock
shares from publicly held corporations and privately held
corporations, and the conduct of stock brokers and exchanges.
They are called securities because the assets and/or the profits
of the corporation or the credit of the government stand as
security for payment.
Securities regulations focus mainly on the market
for common stocks. Both federal and state laws regulate securities.
Federal securities laws are generally administrated by the
Security and Exchange Commission which was established by
the Securities Exchange act of 1934. The first of the federal
securities laws enacted was the Federal Securities Act of
1933, which regulates the public offering and sale of securities
in interstate commerce. The 1933 Act prohibits the offer or
sale of a security not registered with the Securities Exchange
Commission and requires the disclosure of certain information
to the prospective security's purchaser. The objective of
the 1933 Act's registration requirements is to enable a purchaser
to make a reasoned decision based on reliable information.
Securities law is governed by Securities Exchange Act of
1934 which requires that issuers register with the SEC if
they want to have their securities traded on a national exchange
(such as the New York Stock Exchange). Issuers of securities
registered under the 1934 Act and Orange County securities
law must file various reports with SEC in order to provide
the public with ample information about companies with publicly
traded stocks. The 1934 Act also regulates proxy solicitation
and requires that certain information be given to a corporation's
shareholders as a requirement to petition for votes and permits
for the SEC to promulgate rules and regulations to protect
the public and investors by prohibiting manipulative or deceptive
devices or contrivances via mails or other means of interstate
commerce. Orange County securities law also protects against
insider trading.
