THE PRACTICE
Senior Advisors for US Capital Markets
Our Corporate Advisory practice brings senior capital markets judgment to the decisions that shape how a company is perceived. Management teams engage us ahead of pivotal decisions, whether issuing equity, placing debt, pursuing an uplisting, or navigating a leadership change, to understand how the market will receive each move.
ONGOING ADVISORY
The Ongoing Relationship
We advise across four service areas. Skyline’s founders have served on boards, assembled the advisory teams behind a listing, and taken a company public on Nasdaq. We work alongside your management team and corporate advisors as an extension of both.

A candid read on how the company looks to an activist, and the responses prepared before one arrives.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from what our bankers and counsel do?
Your bankers structure the deal, and your counsel handles what is legally required. We advise on how the company communicates and how the market will receive each decision.
Who does the work?
A senior advisor leads every engagement directly, supported by the broader Skyline team.
Do you work with issuers based outside the US?
Yes, including US business-culture training and bilingual spokesperson support for management teams headquartered elsewhere.
Can you advise on one decision or a project rather than a retainer?
Yes. We are regularly engaged around a single decision or project (a raise, a leadership change, an approach from an activist), and many of those become ongoing relationships afterward.
