Bio

Nathan Assor has represented clients in a wide variety of acquisition, sale, public and private securities issuance, loan and other financing transactions and in other corporate, securities and commercial contexts over more than thirty years. His lead and typically hands-on role in structuring, managing, negotiating and closing complex corporate transactions are recognized and valued by his clients as a key reason why GEAB&P is such an attractive alternative to large firms in the middle market corporate and transactional context. Mr. Assor was trained as a corporate and securities lawyer at his original firm, Kramer Levin, and his emphasis over the past fifteen years has been principally on private equity and middle-market clients and transactions with particular experience in transactions involving print, broadcast, internet and other media enterprises, including magazines, newspapers, educational and other specialty publishing, radio and television stations, cable systems, and conference, database and other business-to-business information and data providers. He has also represented clients in manufacturing, minerals, health and nutrition products, specialty chemicals and software industries in numerous critical “life cycle” transactions. Often his clients have not had extensive in-house legal expertise and his representation has included all manner of outside corporate counsel functions. His experience in the securities laws has involved initial and secondary public offerings, private placements, Rule 144A financing transactions, and review and advice regarding annual and other periodic filings, compliance advice and other related securities law and corporate governance matters. Mr. Assor works regularly on structuring, transactions and documentation involving the licensing of intellectual property and technology, employment and executive compensation, and joint ventures, partnerships, limited liability companies and shareholder relationships. In the course of representing private equity clients, he has dealt repeatedly with fund governing documents and matters involving fund investors and managers. He has also handled a variety of transactions involving the sale, purchase and restructuring of troubled companies, both in and outside of bankruptcy, and has advised hedge funds on their strategic alternatives concerning such companies.
