WHY THIS PRACTICE
The combination that matters
Venture Far combines experience inside the SEC with nearly a decade of major international-firm practice in Tokyo and Singapore.
In the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, Ingram worked on digital-asset rulemaking and interpretive guidance, private-offering matters and foreign private issuer issues. That experience informs advice on difficult regulatory questions with an understanding of how those questions are analyzed inside the Commission.
Before joining the SEC, he practiced on cross-border capital-markets and transactional matters in Asia at Sullivan & Cromwell and Allen & Overy. That background is particularly useful when U.S. securities law intersects with Asian issuers, counsel and transactions.
