Asia-U.S. Securities

U.S. securities counsel for Asia-based issuers and law firms

Venture Far Legal advises Asia-based companies and works alongside law firms across Asia on U.S. securities, capital-markets and regulatory matters.

Founder Ingram Weber spent nearly eight years practicing in the Tokyo office of Sullivan & Cromwell and the Singapore office of Allen & Overy before serving as Special Counsel in the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance. His SEC work included foreign private issuer matters, private offerings, digital-asset rulemaking and interpretive guidance.

That combination of U.S. regulatory experience and substantial practice experience in Asia allows Venture Far to work naturally with issuers, local counsel, auditors and other advisers on cross-border matters.

What we do

Core Matters

Venture Far assists Asia-based issuers and law firms with both recurring U.S. securities work and discrete matters requiring specialist U.S. advice.

  • Venture Far advises foreign private issuers on ongoing SEC reporting and disclosure matters, including Forms 20-F and 6-K, annual reporting cycles, disclosure updates and the reporting implications of financings, acquisitions and other corporate events.

    The firm can work directly with the issuer or handle the U.S. securities workstream alongside local counsel.

  • Venture Far advises on U.S. capital-markets transactions involving Asia-based issuers, including Forms F-1 and F-3, registered and private offerings, follow-on financings, resale registration and related disclosure and securities-law matters.

    The firm also advises on the U.S.-law aspects of cross-border offerings involving Regulation S, Rule 144A and other exemptions.

  • Cross-border offerings frequently require careful coordination between the U.S. securities exemption, offshore selling activity and local transaction structure.

    Venture Far advises on Regulation S, Rule 144A, U.S.-person restrictions, offering documentation, investor eligibility, resale limitations and related U.S. securities issues.

  • Not every U.S. securities question fits neatly into a filing checklist.

    Venture Far advises on SEC comment letters, Securities Act and Exchange Act interpretation, foreign private issuer questions, private-offering issues, novel structures and other matters requiring a considered U.S. regulatory position.

  • Asia-based issuers listed or seeking to list in the United States may encounter securities-law and disclosure questions relating to Nasdaq or NYSE requirements, corporate events, financings and continued reporting obligations.

    Venture Far advises on the U.S. securities aspects of those matters and coordinates with specialist exchange or other counsel where appropriate.

  • Acquisitions, financings, restructurings and other transactions can create U.S. disclosure, registration or exemption questions for foreign private issuers.

    Venture Far advises on the securities-law aspects of those transactions and works with local and transaction counsel to integrate the U.S. analysis into the broader deal.

  • Asia-based crypto and fintech businesses may face U.S. regulatory issues even where their principal operations and customers are outside the United States.

    Venture Far advises on offshore token launches, Regulation S, U.S.-person exclusion, prediction markets, perpetuals, stablecoins, investment funds and other U.S. securities and digital-asset matters arising from cross-border activity.

Digital Assets Across Borders

An offshore structure does not necessarily eliminate U.S. regulatory exposure.

Venture Far advises Asia-based companies on U.S. securities and digital-asset questions involving offshore token launches, Regulation S, U.S.-person restrictions, cross-border product access and other situations where activity outside the United States can still create U.S. legal issues.
