The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was passed by The U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Obama. The JOBS Act represents the most significant change to our capital formation regulatory framework since Securities Offering Reform in 2005. The JOBS Act will affect private companies considering an IPO or alternative capital raising approaches, as well as existing public companies, and, of course, the financial intermediaries that advise companies in connection with capital raising.
