Finrep Podcast: The Other Side of the Table | Gabriel Miranda & Gana Misra on Securities Law

In this episode of Finrep's podcast, Gana Misra, CEO of Finrep, sits down with Gabriel Miranda, senior associate at MSK, to look at SEC reporting from the legal seat. Gabriel traces a path from in-house at World Fuel Services to Greenberg Traurig, then Lucosky Brookman in New York, and now MSK, and explains how a JD paired with an MBA in finance shapes the way he advises companies, C-suites, and boards on securities law and governance. The conversation covers where the line falls between what the SEC reporting and accounting team owns and what outside counsel owns on a 10-K or 10-Q, how the registration toolkit comes together across S-1s, S-3s, S-4s, S-8s, F-1s, and tender offers, the realistic state of SPAC and de-SPAC disclosure after the boom and bust, and how lawyers and accountants split the work on a comment letter response. Gabriel also talks about keeping risk factors from calcifying into boilerplate, which governance filings create the most avoidable pain, and where AI belongs, and does not belong, in drafting documents that carry real liability. What you'll learn: Where the reporting team's ownership ends and outside counsel's begins on a 10-K or 10-Q What the legal workstream looks like in a capital markets deal, and where timelines usually slip How lawyers and accountants divide the work on an SEC comment letter response What actually drives a risk factor update, and how counsel documents judgment when guidance is unclear Where AI can help with securities work, and what should never leave a lawyer's hands Tune in to hear how the deal side, the disclosure side, and the reporting side actually fit together.
