NEW YORK, May 12, 2022 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is pleased to welcome Kristina Trauger as a partner in the Capital Markets Group of its Corporate Department. Based in the New York office, Kristina has deep experience advising publicly traded companies, investment banks and investors in a wide range of complex corporate transactions, including securities offerings and mergers and acquisitions.
“Public and private companies of all sizes and industries trust Kristina to handle their most challenging equity and debt and corporate finance transactions,” said Chip Parsons, co-chair of the Firm’s Corporate Department. “Her expertise on securities transactions will be an invaluable asset to our transactional team. We are excited to welcome her to Proskauer.”
Kristina represents clients in connection with the going-public process and various types of securities offerings, including initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, at-the-market offerings, SPACs, private placements, investment-grade and high-yield bonds. She is also a trusted advisor on corporate governance, securities compliance and SEC reporting matters.
“In this rapidly changing environment, clients rely on trusted advisors like Kristina to help them not only navigate the SEC’s new rulemaking but also advise on options for accessing the capital markets,” said Steven M. Ellis, chairman of the Firm. “Kristina’s expertise and technical knowledge will be a great advantage to our clients as they look to grow or establish their presence in new markets.”
Kristina received both her M.B.A. and J.D. from Seton Hall University. She joins from Shearman & Sterling.
