Paul Bork
Paul Bork’s wide-ranging corporate practice includes matters that center on securities, governance, reorganization and dispute resolution. He represents a diverse group of publicly and privately held clients, including sophisticated developers, manufacturers (including those in traditional “smokestack” industries), high technology companies, restaurant operators, and both investment bankers and institutional investors. These and other clients turn to Paul for guidance on issuing debt and equity securities, making initial and subsequent public offerings, and facilitating a variety of business combinations (including going private transactions). His work also includes advising debtors and creditors in corporate reorganizations under the Bankruptcy Code.
Corporate governance issues are a special focus on Paul’s practice. He regularly represents both management and insurgents in corporate control contests, including those that involve proxy and consent solicitations, and also advises on related state and federal litigation. He also advises substantial stockholders or special board committees of public companies in takeover and corporate governance matters.
