Appoint a New York Process Agent in Commercial Transactions

mike-c-valdivia-kZokA2VTKn4-unsplashAs parties to cross-border commercial transactions governed by New York law, you may be required to appoint a professional process agent in the State of New York to receive and forward legal process on your behalf.

These transactions could vary from loans/ financing, aviation, ISDA/derivatives or project finance.

Our team has the knowledge and expertise to assist you with your process agent needs, no matter how sophisticated the underlying transactions are.

Appoint a New York Process Agent in SEC Filings

Foreign companies that go public in the U.S. will be required to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

An “agent for service” (as defined under section 230.100 of the General Rules and Regulation of the Securities Act) is required to be listed on the cover page of the SEC registration statements listed below.

Frequently, a New York process agent is the preferred choice of jurisdiction listed on the cover page of the registration statement to receive notices and communications from the SEC. We have been named as New York process agent under various SEC forms including Form F-1, F-3, F-X/CB, S-8 etc. to name a few.

In addition to the foreign private issuer naming an agent for service in the registration statement, in some cases, naming a U.S. Duly Authorised Representative (“USDAR”) is also required. The roles of the agent for service and the USDAR are different, but equally important to have in place prior to filing with the SEC.
