What Anthony, Linder & Cacomanolis, PLLC does

Anthony, Linder & Cacomanolis, PLLC is a boutique corporate and securities law firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, founded in 1996 by partners Laura E. Anthony, Craig D. Linder, and John Cacomanolis. The firm provides senior-partner-led legal counsel for high-stakes U.S. capital markets transactions, including initial public offerings (IPOs), de-SPAC business combinations, direct listings, reverse mergers, registration statements (S-1, F-1, S-4), M&A advisory, and ongoing public-company compliance. Aggregate transaction value advised by senior partners is disclosed at over $20 billion, with notable engagements spanning a $4.8 billion Nasdaq SPAC combination, a $1 billion Nasdaq de-SPAC, and a $171.4 million NYSE American underwritten public offering. The firm serves emerging growth companies, global enterprises, and Japanese issuers seeking U.S. listings — the latter served through a dedicated Japan Desk with a Japanese-language site and cross-border corridor specialization.

The firm operates a partner-led advisory model in which senior partners personally architect every engagement rather than delegating to junior staff, generating revenue exclusively through attorney fees billed against engagement-letter agreements (no public pricing). Headcount is approximately 14 staff including 12 attorneys, with the leadership trio supplemented by Of Counsel and additional associates across West Palm Beach and Texas service areas. There are no channel partners, no external funding, and no parent company; ownership is held by the named partners. The firm has positioned itself around regulatory developments including the 2025 accelerated Nasdaq delisting rules and markets compliance and capital-raise advisory as a unified, bespoke service rather than a standardized product.

Distribution is direct — no intermediaries — with marketing conducted through a securities-law blog, the ALC Weekly Newsletter, a YouTube podcast (@ALCLAWPLLC2), and active profiles on X, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. Recognition includes consecutive Lawyers of Distinction five-star ratings (2023–2026), Palm Beach 100 awards (2020–2022), and Martindale-Hubbell Distinguished recognition sustained over 25 years (1996–2021). The firm holds no proprietary technology, patents, or trademarks and operates as a traditional professional services practice with no disclosed AI/ML tooling or automation of advisory workflows.
