Indispensable Counsel for a Complex Public Offering

Our company was navigating its first significant public offering, a process that was both daunting and critical to our future. We engaged Robert Grammig at Holland & Knight, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our initial consultation, his 44 years of deep experience in securities and capital markets law were immediately apparent. He didn't just recite rules; he provided strategic, commercially-savvy guidance that shaped the entire offering. His leadership of the firm's Public Companies Practice meant he had a seasoned team at his disposal, yet he remained our primary, hands-on point of contact. Mr. Grammig anticipated regulatory hurdles we hadn't considered and crafted solutions that satisfied both the SEC and our investors. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Tampa for Securities Law was no surprise to us—his expertise is simply that formidable. He operated with a calm, steady professionalism that instilled confidence throughout our board and executive team. The transaction closed smoothly and successfully, a direct result of his meticulous preparation and strategic foresight. For any public company matter in Tampa, Robert Grammig is the definitive authority.
