"We engaged Padilla Speer Beardsley after our IPO to assist us in establishing an investor relations function. They have done a very good job, helping us develop consistent key messages for current and prospective investors. We now are working with them in marketing communications, as well. Our Padilla Speer Beardsley team has impressed me with their knowledge and desire to learn more about our business."
-Steve Hathaway CFO SurModics, Inc.
Communicating with investors is an exacting business. The absence of timely and accurate information on a company's performance and future plans breeds uncertainty and volatility. We understand the importance of establishing clear expectations and avoiding surprises, and we use that knowledge to help our clients communicate effectively to current and potential investors.
Padilla Speer Beardsley's corporate and investor-relations team is a market leader. Our experienced people provide strategic communications counsel to executives facing initial public offerings and to veterans of publicly held companies.
