He has great depth of experience in forming, building, reorganizing and advising on the governance of private companies and public companies and M&A transactions for public and private buyers and sellers both in the United States and globally. His approach to transactions is to focus on bringing value to his clients, minimizing unnecessary costs and time in protracted negotiations in areas which are not adding value to the client.

He also represents individual, institutional and venture capital investors in equity, debt and lease financings.   

In March 2011, Mr. Honig taught American business law at the University of Belgorod in southwestern Russia. Mr. Honig has taught securities law and regularly lectures and writes on governance issues, shareholder disputes, middle market antitrust issues, securities law regulation, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the representation of senior executives engaged in establishing compensation regimes in both public and private company settings.

Mr. Honig writes regularly on his blog, Law and Other Anomalies, which can be accessed at www.stevehoniglawblog.com. Aside from addressing legal and social issues of current interest, the blog contains an archive of Mr. Honig's experiences in teaching in Russia, referred to above.
