Albert Lung
Albert Lung advises companies throughout the United States and abroad on capital market transactions, corporate governance, and securities laws. His clients include publicly listed companies, investment banking firms and institutional stakeholders in emerging technology, semiconductor, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, software, life sciences utility and consumer ecommerce industries. Albert advises clients in public and private offerings of equity and debt securities, compliance with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations and disclosure requirements and periodic reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, NASDAQ/NYSE listing requirements, corporate governance, investors communications, and a variety of other general corporate matters.
Within the United States, Albert represents companies spanning an array of industries, particularly emerging technology and life sciences companies in Silicon Valley, as they accelerate their growth through venture financing transactions, private placements and public offerings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and other business transactions. He has more than 20 years of experience in guiding public companies, underwriters and private equity firms through initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on and secondary public offerings, private investment in public equity (PIPEs), At-the-Market Offering, Rule 144A offerings, tender offers, convertible debt financing, and other corporate finance transactions.

Companies in the Asia-Pacific region that are looking for financing from US-based corporations seek Albert’s counsel on navigating complex securities law issues associated with cross-border financing and acquisition transactions. His understanding of US securities law and disclosure requirements allows him to find the most efficient ways for clients to raise funds from inside the United States.
Albert is also a leading practitioner of Regulation A+ IPOs and has represented both issuers and underwriters in some of the first Regulation A+ IPOs since the adoption of the new rules by the SEC. Albert also advises private companies in venture capital financing and other complex corporate finance and M&A transactions, including Regulation CF offering and Rule 506(c) offering.
Albert writes and speaks frequently on topics relating to US securities laws, including the JOBS Act, Dodd Frank Act, and more recently he plays a leading role in developing the Regulation A+ legal practice.
