Strategic Investor Relations programs that effectively integrate finance, communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable the most effective dialogue between our client companies, the financial community and other constituencies, which ultimately contributes to fair valuation in the capital markets. Together with each client, we determine an appropriate set of tangible, measurable goals that focus our efforts and enable clients to gauge results.

• Customized IR Programs
  Like fingerprints, no two companies are exactly alike. At LHA, we recognize the unique corporate characteristics and investment thesis of each client company and develop individualized communications strategies that position clients to their best advantage in the financial marketplace.
• IPO IR Programs
  IPO investor relations programs ideally begin well before the first "org" meeting with the underwriting syndicate, and lay the groundwork for success that continues far beyond the pricing of the deal. We work with our IPO clients to educate management teams on the fiduciary responsibilities and sensitivities of being a public company and help them to shoulder those demands. Our work is comprehensive, and ranges from institutional and banker introductions for private companies, to message development and IPO road show support. We also build a credible foundation of IR Best Practices to ensure successful long-term programming.
• Peer Analyses
  Understanding how the investment community views stocks in certain industry sectors and with similar parameters is important in developing a targeted IR program. We garner market intelligence about a company's peer group as an essential tool in creating messages, metrics and deliverables that resonate with the most appropriate and logical buyers of each clients' stock. As a result, we determine how to make our clients stand out from others in the crowd.
• IR Best Practices
  With 20+ years of Wall Street and Investor Relations experience, LHA has been a leader in developing what are now considered industry Best Practices. We know what works and what doesn't to make our clients succeed. We work with our clients to establish Best Practices in every aspect of the programs we create. Our insight into process and product is borne out of knowledge, experience, and integrity.
• Crisis Communications (IR)
  "The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity." John F. Kennedy (Speech in Indianapolis, 1959). Through risk assessment, advanced crisis plan development, and meticulous implementation, we assist our clients in preparing to face their "danger" and seek ways to transform it into an opportunity.
• Disclosure and Guidance
  Information is the lifeblood of efficient capital markets. At LHA, we work with clients to develop their disclosure infrastructure, establishing general criteria for granting fair levels of access and distribution of information that complies with Reg FD and SOX regulations. We guide managers in establishing policies as to what type of information management and other employees should discuss outside the firm to limited audiences, how to avoid inadvertent disclosures, as well as how information will be disseminated to the market at large when or if material non-public information is unintentionally disclosed. We help clients address the complexity of providing analyst guidance through our knowledge of the regulatory requirements and an understanding of all particular sensitivities involved.
• Corporate Governance
  Good governance is the hallmark of a well-run company. LHA provides executive management and their boards with counsel on the development of information architectures that provide a unified approach to internal communications that creates greater transparency, independence and perspective. This also provides them with the information they need to make better decisions and develop information safeguards to offer more reliable disclosures with confidence. This approach arms corporate leaders with the insight, alignment and confidence to effectively govern and nurture shareholder value.
• Board Level Counsel
  Our years of experience and our in-depth knowledge of our client companies' businesses and industries affords us the unique perspective to provide counsel on a myriad of corporate issues including, but not limited to: financings; M&A activity; share repurchases and splits; dividend programs; reverse mergers; and insider selling programs. We present board members with situation analyses that address the perspectives of all stakeholders in a company including public shareholders, the investment community at large, the management and board, the employees, suppliers and customers. We help companies make the right decisions based on available information.
