The JOBS Act: Improving Access to Capital
by Brian J. Burt, Joseph M. Miller and Nicholas Varela
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) was signed into law, bringing sweeping changes to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The JOBS Act is designed to make it significantly easier for startup and emerging growth companies to raise capital by eliminating or reducing certain regulatory burdens.
