Navigating the maze of private securities and alternative investments requires more than just legal knowledge—it demands practical wisdom born from experience. In this enlightening conversation with Roland Wiederaenders and Sarah Florer of Grable Martin PLLC, we uncover the hidden complexities of raising capital in today's global marketplace.
Did you know the private securities market vastly outweighs public markets, despite receiving far less attention? Roland and Sarah, with their decades of combined experience across multiple jurisdictions, reveal how entrepreneurs can effectively structure deals to attract investment while protecting themselves legally. Sarah's unique background—practicing in Texas, New York, Dubai, and the UK—brings a truly global perspective to investment structures and cross-border transactions.
We explore the practical realities of international investing that rarely make headlines. When that Singapore family office agrees to invest $100 million in your venture, banking complications can delay funding for years. The attorneys share a fascinating case study where Gulf-based investors faced a two-year process simply to transfer funds to a California company due to compliance requirements.
The conversation delves into emerging industry trends, particularly the untapped potential in the cannabis sector. Despite significant regulatory hurdles at the federal level, the attorneys explain why entrepreneurs should monitor this space closely as eventual policy changes could unlock massive economic opportunities throughout the entire supply chain.
Perhaps most valuable is their breakdown of Grable Martin unique approach to legal services. Operating as a distributed firm long before COVID made remote work common, they deliver expert counsel at rates 30-40% below traditional law firms. Their philosophy of personalized service without unnecessary hierarchy makes sophisticated legal guidance accessible to entrepreneurs at various stages of growth.
Whether you're raising your first million or structuring your fiftieth deal, this episode delivers practical insights into the legal frameworks that underpin successful capital raising. Subscribe now to gain an insider's perspective on navigating alternative investments with confidence and legal clarity.
