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.
