Incorporation date, home state file number, principal office address, EIN, fiscal year end, authorized capital (shares, classes, par values, preferences). Reflect all amendments with certified copies.
Full legal name, title, business address for each. Must match home state records exactly — inconsistencies cause rejection.
Physical street address in target state (no PO boxes). Include written consent to serve using state's official form or notarized statement. Must be a resident individual, authorized entity, or licensed agent service.
Triggers registration: office/warehouse/retail space, employing in-state workers, owning/leasing real property, maintaining inventory, regular in-state commercial transactions.
Common exemptions (verify per state): bank accounts, board meetings, transfer agencies, acquiring debt, isolated transactions (typically 30 days or fewer), defending lawsuits.
Draft concise analysis showing activities exceed exemption thresholds.
Include method (mail / in-person / online / expedited), expected timeline, fees, accepted payment methods, state office contact, and whether originals or copies are accepted.
Signatory per bylaws (president, VP, secretary, treasurer, or authorized officer). Include notary block if target state requires notarization. Add certification language (e.g., "under penalty of perjury") if required.
tools
Audits the complete in-scope medical-record universe in a litigation matter and produces an attorney-facing, Bates-cited analysis of treatment gaps, missing records or providers, baseline coverage, material billing or production mismatches, and complaint evolution. Use when asked to find missing medical records, analyze treatment gaps or first-care timing, identify absent providers, assess whether a production is complete, or prepare a records-request target list. Use medical-record-chronology instead when the primary request is a chronological clinical narrative.
development
Drafts a legally compliant Private Placement Memorandum for Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(b)/506(c)), covering full disclosure framework including risk factors, capitalization, securities terms, use of proceeds, and investor qualification requirements. Enforces SEC anti-fraud compliance under Section 10(b)/Rule 10b-5, blue sky law considerations, and accredited investor verification under Rule 501. Use this skill when drafting PPMs, offering memorandums, Reg D disclosure documents, or private offering circulars for issuers raising capital from sophisticated investors. Also trigger when the user mentions private placement disclosure, offering memorandum, Reg D fundraising, or accredited investor verification. Even if the user just says "PPM" or "draft our offering memo," use this skill.
