Dave has extensive experience in securities, including private and public offerings, compliance reporting, proxy solicitation, and

accountants, tax advisors, investment bankers, financial consultants, and other professionals to address clients' needs.
Dave joined Dufford & Brown in 2002 in order to expand his practice in mergers, acquisitions and securities compliance. He has over
