John Lawrence Mericle's Lawyer Endorsements
"John Mericle is a brilliant transactional securities lawyer who explains complex ideas in simple and elegant terms. Whether teaching lawyers, serving as an expert witness or advising clients, John’s insights are invaluable. His knowledge of the US-Canadian Multijurisdictional Disclosure System is second to none. In addition, I’d call on John to advise clients on securities and corporate governance matters at any stage from setting up compliance systems to responding to a government investigation."
