TakePublic is a technology platform, not a law firm, broker-dealer, or auditor. Forms 3, 4 and 5 prepared in TakePublic file only after the reviewer the company designates, such as its securities counsel, signs off; any other filing prepared in TakePublic files only after a licensed securities attorney signs off.
These disclosures explain the roles of TakePublic, your company, and the independent professionals involved in your SEC filings.
TakePublic's role
TakePublic is a technology platform. It is not a law firm, broker-dealer, or auditor, and it does not provide legal, investment, accounting, or auditing advice.
Using or communicating with TakePublic does not create an attorney-client relationship with TakePublic. Communications with TakePublic are not protected by attorney-client privilege or as attorney work product.
Independent securities attorneys
The licensed securities attorneys who review and sign filings through the Service are independent professionals. Their professional duties run to the customer they represent, not to TakePublic. A company may instead designate its own reviewer for Forms 3, 4 and 5, such as a paralegal, corporate secretary or chief financial officer; that reviewer acts for the company, and TakePublic does not review the filing in their place.
TakePublic does not select, recommend, or endorse attorneys and receives no fees for introductions.
AI drafts and human decisions
Where the Service drafts with AI, AI prepares the draft and people make the decisions. Every filing prepared in TakePublic requires a sign-off on the exact document, bound to its cryptographic hash, and is not transmitted to SEC EDGAR without it: by the company's designated reviewer, such as its securities counsel, for a Form 3, 4 or 5, and by a licensed securities attorney for any other filing. A Form 3, 4 or 5 your company uploads as already reviewed and signed is transmitted exactly as uploaded, on your company's attestation that it was reviewed and signed.
Deadlines and approvals
Deadlines shown in the Service are informational, displayed in Eastern Time (ET), and are not legal advice. Your company and its counsel remain responsible for confirming and meeting applicable deadlines.
In-app approvals record corporate decisions for the filing record. They are not themselves board or shareholder action. Corporate action must be taken under your charter, bylaws, and applicable law.
No SEC affiliation
EDGAR and SEC are registered trademarks of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. TakePublic's products and services are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC alone decides whether to accept any filing. TakePublic transmits counsel-approved submissions to EDGAR on your company's behalf. Your company remains the filer of record, except that the reporting person is the filer of record for a Form 3, 4 or 5.
