Van Prooyen Greenfield LLP counsels clients on communications issues related to financial reporting, corporate governance and shareholder relations.  We manage communications campaigns with analysts, shareholders, media, customers and suppliers.

• Credit card companies
• Big Five accounting firms
• Institutional and retail brokerages
• Shareholder and creditor committees
• Private equity firms
• High net worth advisory firms
• Venture capital firms
