Eversheds Sutherland Expands Capital Markets Practice with Partner Owen Pinkerton
Eversheds Sutherland is pleased to announce that Owen J. Pinkerton has rejoined the firm’s Capital Markets & Investments Practice Group in the Washington DC office as partner. Mr. Pinkerton previously worked at Eversheds Sutherland as counsel and is now joining from Thompson Hine, where he was a partner in the Corporate Transactions & Securities and Investment Management practice focused on advising business development companies (BDCs) and registered closed-end funds.
"I am excited to welcome Owen back to our Capital Markets & Investments Practice," said Mark D. Wasserman, Co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. "The BDC market has grown significantly over the last few years and our practice has grown with it. Owen’s arrival enables us to build out further and bring even better service to our existing BDC clients."
"Owen has already left his mark on the capital markets industry, and his extensive experience with BDCs is an excellent fit for our clients and the firm," said Steven B. Boehm, Head of Capital Markets & Investments at Eversheds Sutherland. "Owen has deep regulatory and transactional experience that will greatly benefit our clients as they navigate these environments."
In addition to BDCs, Mr. Pinkerton advises registered closed-end funds and interval funds on regulatory and transactional matters, including public and private offerings and ongoing regulatory compliance with the federal securities laws. Additionally, he has extensive experience advising real estate investment trusts (REITs). He provides ongoing regulatory advice to his clients regarding general corporate governance matters, including preparing and reviewing periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 and dealing with disclosure issues under the federal securities laws. He also advises clients on issues arising under state "Blue Sky" laws and processes and FINRA regulation of public offerings and marketing efforts.
Prior to his role at Thompson Hine, Mr. Pinkerton was a partner in the Corporate, Securities, Real Estate Capital Markets, and Funds & Alternative Investments practices of another national firm. Prior to joining Eversheds Sutherland in 2007, he worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission as an attorney-adviser and senior counsel within the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance. In this capacity, he served as a reviewer of 1933 Act and 1934 Act registration statements, periodic reports, and proxy statements filed by real estate investment trusts (REITs), business services companies and commodity pools. Prior to this role, he worked at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the Division of Trading and Markets and for the US House of Representatives.
