A security is a type of transferable interest representing financial value. Securities may take a number of different forms, including stocks, bonds, notes, collateral trust certificates, voting trust certificates or investment contracts. Securities attorneys represent clients in transactions and legal disputes related to stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and initial public offerings (IPOs). Securities attorneys may represent a corporation or shareholders in a securities fraud lawsuit against officers and directors of the corporation, or may assist clients in matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Colebrook is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 1,471 at the 2000 census. Colebrook was named after Colebrooke, in the English county of Devon. Early in Colebrook's history, an explorer from the county of Devon landed in Connecticut. It is believed throughout the town that he hid a small chest in Colebrook's local pond. Supposedly, it contains jewelry from Egyptian Monarchs shortly after the Revolutionary War. This is untrue. The pond is man-made and only contains snakes, weeds, and leeches.
