How SEC Registration Legal Counsel Helps New York Companies Go Public
Most registration statements are now submitted confidentially before anyone knows the company is going public. Any issuer may file a draft for non-public SEC review. Comments arrive, the document is revised, and the filing becomes public only when the company is ready to market. Companies that begin the process publicly give up the option of stopping quietly. The timeline belongs to the staff. Initial comments typically follow within thirty days, and successive rounds continue until resolved. Accounting comments take longest, which is why the auditors' readiness usually sets the calendar rather than the lawyers'. Effectiveness is requested, not automatic. The issuer and underwriters ask the Commission to accelerate effectiveness, and the Commission declares it. What is said before and during matters. Public statements ahead of filing, and written material used during the waiting period, can violate Section 5 — which gives purchasers a right to rescind. That exposure arises from communications, not from the document. And the liability structure does not reward the issuer for diligence. Section 11 imposes liability on the issuer without regard to fault. The due diligence defense belongs to the directors, signing officers, and underwriters, and it is built from what they did during the process rather than what they knew.

How NASDAQ Listing Legal Counsel Mitigates Post-IPO SEC Risks
Section 11 liability is civil, and directors have a defense the issuer does not. The issuer is liable without regard to fault for material misstatements in the registration statement. Directors, signing officers, and underwriters are not — they have a due diligence defense, and whether it succeeds depends on what they did before the offering rather than what they knew. Which means the record matters more than the outcome. Attendance at drafting sessions, questions asked of management and auditors, and the negative assurance received from counsel are what the defense consists of. It is assembled during the offering and cannot be reconstructed afterward. Delisting runs on a separate track. Nasdaq continued listing standards address bid price, public float, holder counts, and delinquent filings. A deficiency notice starts a compliance period, and the process moves through a hearings panel with its own appeal rights. It has little to do with whether the SEC is investigating. Internal control weaknesses get disclosed, not fixed quietly. A material weakness identified under Section 404 is reported. Remediation takes quarters, and the disclosure of the weakness is itself a risk factor plaintiffs read.We represent issuers and individual directors, and the interests are not always the same.
