Public company folks — what resources do you find yourself referencing often? I’m starting at a pub co soon where a portion of my work will be assisting with SEC reporting and I’m VERY rusty after leaving private practice a few years ago. Thanks!

Agree with others recommendations. Also stay up to date on SEC rulemaking by subscribing to releases from SEC (although under current SEC who knows if/when we will have a new disclosure rule ever again). Sign up for law firm memos/alerts from outside counsel. Intelligize from lexis is critical for benchmarking of filings/disclosure​

Mid level securities lawyer here in private practice - I find PLI to be a great resource as well as corporatecounsel.net. Can also follow Broc Romanek on LinkedIn and his disclosure transparency blog. I’m also happy to be a resource (feel free to DM!)

I’m not in house, but I practice SEC reporting at a firm. TheCorporateCounsel.net and Section16.net are the best resources. Intelligize is also key for searching for precedent!

thecorporatecounsel.net, if your company has access to it. Getting familiar with just the form instructions themselves (reading through the 8-K instructions to see what triggers 8-Ks, looking at Qs and Ks and related S-K reporting requirements, etc). Some IPO guides that large firms put out will also be helpful in providing some high level insight on related topics that may fall under public company reporting in a non-obvious way.

No this requires a subscription but it’s totally worth it.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

I’m in discussions to become the GC of a mid size but international company that does ~$1 billion in annual revenue. Smallish legal department. They’ve asked for my comp expectations. I don’t have specific expectations but I want to be compensated at least market for a NYC based GC (which looks like cash comp of at least $300k plus bonus, etc). Any suggestions on how people would respond?

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale.

A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there.
