WELCOME TO THE LAW OFFICE OF JASON E. AMBERS
The Law Office of Jason E. Ambers (LOJA) was founded by a seasoned securities attorney with over 20 years of experience in state “blue sky” securities regulation and enforcement, corporate law, and investment banking. We are dedicated to helping clients navigate state securities regulatory and enforcement challenges in a manner that is clear, practical, and effective.
Drawing on more than two decades of regulatory and legal experience, including more than 16 years as a senior state securities regulator for the State of Oregon, we understand how state securities regulators operate — not just on paper, but in practice. We understand that, unlike the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, many state securities regulators operate in ways that can seem opaque and unpredictable to outsiders. We know that each state has its own laws, priorities, personalities, and unwritten norms and that their processes tend to be more informal and that publicly available guidance is often limited.
We also know how regulatory decisions are made, how investigations evolve, how securities offerings are reviewed and registered, and how unwritten practices and practical and political realities shape outcomes. This insider knowledge and perspective allows us to help clients anticipate problems before they arise, communicate credibly and effectively with regulators, avoid—or mitigate—compliance risks, and resolve issues quickly.
Recent litigation brought by state securities regulators and state attorneys general — including the recent complaint filed by the State of Oregon against Coinbase, Inc., which alleges violations of the Oregon Securities Law — highlights what is likely to be a growing trend: states stepping in to enforce their blue sky laws when they believe that oversight at the federal level has fallen short. We welcome the opportunity to help our clients navigate this shifting landscape.
At LOJA, you will work directly with highly experienced attorney—receiving personalized attention, clear and consistent communication, and a deep subject matter expertise. With significantly lower overhead, we offer flexible pricing structures tailored to your needs and budgets and can work seamlessly with your existing legal team to provide targeted blue sky securities and regulatory knowledge when and where it is needed most.
