Guide to California Securities Law Practice (2006)

The 300+ page "Guide to California Securities Law Practice" was prepared by the Corporations Committee of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of California, and is designed in easy-to-read question-and-answer format. The work is full of information on the typical issues confronting a busy transactional lawyer, including the scope of the most frequently used California securities exemptions (like Section 25102(f)) and a "how to" for preparation of applications filed with the Department of Corporations and the conduct of "fairness hearings" before the Department. http://businesslaw.calbar.ca.gov/Publications/SecuritiesLaw.aspx
