Law Faculty Publications

ATTORNEYS, when advising clients regarding the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating a business, must carefully consider the applicability of the securities laws, state and federal, to the venture from its inception.

To evaluate the propriety of imposing liability in this situation, this comment will first trace the development and expansion of liability for nondisclosure under …
