Joshua J. Curry

I work with clients at various points in the business life cycle to help them raise debt and equity capital through public and private securities offerings, with a focus on venture capital and growth stage equity financings. As part of a transaction, I also regularly help clients develop a strategy for a variety of other securities and corporate finance matters, including entity formation and organization, corporate governance, debt and equity financing, preparation of periodic and annual reports including proxy statements, offering memoranda and prospectuses, and general securities law compliance.

In addition, I also represent regional and national real estate developers in the multifamily, commercial and industrial markets in connection with corporate structuring, fund formation and acquisition of debt and equity capital necessary to acquire, construct and develop assets. A large part of my practice in this area revolves around appropriately structuring these transactions so that the client is able to take advantage of tax and other available incentives such as federal Opportunity Zone tax credits.

I assist clients private and public companies with a variety of internal corporate and governance matters, including reorganizations and/or recapitalizations, drafting governing documents, entity formation and dissolution, securing debt and equipment financing, awarding equity incentive to employees, hiring of independent contractors and related general corporate issues.

I also have extensive experience working with some of the largest craft breweries in the Midwest, assisting with the sale of their beer distribution rights into nearly 40 states. Additionally, I have assisted local breweries and other clients in ensuring compliance with the manufacture, sale and distribution of recreational hemp and cannabis-derived products.

I have represented clients across a wide range of industries to buy, sell, merge or otherwise reorganize their companies, providing a range of related corporate services in such mergers & acquisition transactions, including corporate, limited partnership and limited liability company formation and structuring, drafting and negotiation of related commercial contracts, corporate governance, and due diligence matters.
