Shepard PLLC is a Boca Raton, Florida–based corporate and securities boutique dedicated to delivering clear, strategic counsel to businesses of all sizes. We guide both emerging ventures and established enterprises through the full spectrum of corporate law matters from formation and governance to complex transactions and regulatory compliance.

Our transactional practice encompasses structuring and financing startups, drafting and negotiating shareholder and LLC agreements and advising on capital formation. We handle public and private securities offerings, assist with SEC registration statements and periodic reporting, and coordinate private placements. On the mergers and acquisitions front, we support mergers, acquisitions, and asset or equity sales by managing due diligence, deal structuring, and documentation to achieve efficient, value-driven outcomes.

For public companies, our team prepares and reviews registration statements, proxy and information statements, earnings releases and all required SEC filings. We develop robust governance frameworks by drafting board charters, advising on director independence and designing executive compensation programs that align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

At the heart of Shepard PLLC is founder Jonathan Shepard, whose 40-plus years as securities counsel power our practice. He has served as outside general counsel to private and SEC-registered issuers, including a NYSE American-listed company and routinely advises on SEC reporting, corporate governance and compliance. His background spans major law firms in New York and Philadelphia, in-house roles at Atlantic Richfield Company and the EPA, and as general counsel to a national medical-equipment company, where he led capital raises and a successful sale.

We leverage this depth of experience to deliver tailored solutions that anticipate risks and streamline execution. Whether you’re raising seed capital, preparing for a private placement or managing a public offering, our professionals work closely with you to structure financing terms, prepare disclosure materials and close transactions smoothly.
