Expert guidance through a complex capital markets transaction

Our company recently navigated a complex private securities offering, and Katharine Mascarenhas was instrumental to its success. Her deep, 18-year background in securities and capital markets law, honed at Taft, provided the precise expertise we needed. Katharine didn't just review documents; she anticipated regulatory hurdles and structured the transaction with a clarity that gave both our board and potential investors immense confidence. Her recognition in Banking and Finance Law by Best Lawyers is clearly well-deserved. What truly set her apart was her ability to explain intricate securitization concepts in practical business terms, making her an invaluable strategic partner. The process was seamless, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. For any matter involving structured finance or capital raising in Indianapolis, Katharine is the first attorney I would recommend without hesitation.
