Securities Lawyer Johnathan Duncan Joins Haynes Boone’s New York Office

Johnathan Duncan has joined Haynes Boone as a partner in the firm’s Capital Markets and Securities Practice Group. He will be based in New York.

A corporate generalist with a focus on securities work, Johnathan advises clients on capital markets transactions, mergers and acquisitions, securities law compliance and corporate governance matters. He has served as outside securities counsel to several public companies and routinely represents clients in IPOs, follow-on offerings, and the preparation of 1933 and 1934 Act filings. He also handles securities compliance matters for foreign private issuers.

“Our clients will value Johnathan’s deep experience and sound judgment,” said Partner Rick A. Werner, who serves as co-chair of the firm’s Capital Markets and Securities Practice Group. “He is an insightful and relentless problem-solver with the diverse skillset that our clients require.”

Most recently, Johnathan served as counsel at ArentFox Schiff LLP in New York.

Johnathan said he was drawn to Haynes Boone for several reasons, including the reputation of its Capital Markets and Securities Practice and its international presence that will enable him to better serve a growing roster of international clients. “The opportunity to join such a solid platform and to work with lawyers of the highest caliber was too good to pass up,” he added.

Johnathan received his JD from the University at Buffalo School of Law and his MBA from the University at Buffalo School of Management.
