Iain uses his more than 20 years of legal experience to represent public and private companies in mergers and acquisitions.

He has been practicing law since 1995. Since joining Brooks Pierce in 2005, Iain has served as counsel to issuers, selling shareholders and underwriters in public and private securities offerings having an aggregate value in excess of $1 billion.
