Woodbridge-based law firm Lucosky Brookman LLP’s managing partner, Joseph Lucosky, has been appointed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to serve on the SEC’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee.
This advisory body provides recommendations to the Commission on issues affecting entrepreneurs, investors, emerging companies, and the capital markets.
Lucosky was one of five new members appointed to four-year terms. Members represent a broad cross-section of market participants and provide the Commission with practical insights into regulatory and policy matters affecting access to capital, small businesses, investors, and the public markets.
This comes while small-company community policymakers, regulators, exchanges, and market participants are debating issues ranging from access to growth capital and exchange listing standards to IPO activity, regulatory modernization, and declining participation in the US public markets.
Throughout Lucosky’s career, he has worked directly with entrepreneurs, public companies, investors, financial institutions, and market participants, helping them navigate the opportunities and challenges of raising capital and operating in the public markets, giving him a practitioner’s perspective on many of the issues currently facing the emerging growth and small public company ecosystem.
“Small and emerging companies remain one of the most important engines of innovation and job creation in the United States,” Lucosky said in a release. “The issues facing smaller public companies and entrepreneurs deserve a strong voice in the regulatory process.”
