TAMPA, FL – As previously announced, Tampa Partner Gregory C. Yadley was recently appointed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a member of the agency’s new Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee. At the Advisory Committee’s inaugural meeting on May 6, 2019, in Washington, DC, Greg was elected Secretary of the Committee.

The Committee is designed to provide a formal mechanism for the Commission to receive advice and recommendations on Commission rules, regulations and policy matters relating to small businesses, including smaller public companies. Greg is one of three practicing lawyers on the 15-person Advisory Committee.  He previously served on the SEC’s Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies during its entire period of operation between 2011 and 2017.

Having worked across a broad range of industries and having handled transactions of all sizes, Greg brings a wealth of experience to clients in representing business entities, including closely-held and family businesses and large and small public companies. Practicing for more than 40 years has allowed him a deep understanding of what the various participants in a transaction are looking for across the spectrum, which enables him to successfully represent clients in a variety of matters.
