Using Velawcity for Transactional Due Diligence
Whether you need a simple public search performed to determine the existence and good standing of an entity or assistance with the upload and maintenance of a transaction diligence data room, Velawcity provides seamless paralegal support. Velawcity senior corporate paralegals can assist with everything from that simple public search to managing a due diligence project via Dropbox, Box.net, Google Drive, MS Teams, a printing company data room such as Merrill Corp. or your customized solution.
Velawcity paralegals will assist in gathering and organizing documents, and upload to your preferred platform for easy access to both sides of the transaction. We’ll create a document index tracking sheet for easy reference to the status of each document and responsible parties. Velawcity paralegals expertly handle the following responsbilities:
Public Records Searches to verify:
- Legal existence of each target entity
- Good standing (or restore to good standing)
- Trade or ficititous names
- Licenses and Permits requirements and status
- UCC-1 financing statements
- Real estate searches, mortgage, deeds, fixture filings
- State and federal tax liens
Litigation Searches to expose:
- Federal and state litigation searches
- Bankruptcy searches
Intellectual Property searches:
- Trademarks: Obtain full trademark searches or perform informal search via USPTO/search engines.
- Copyrights
- Social media diligence including URL ownership
Corporate Records Review:
- Review corporate records to determine missing board or stockholder actions. Assist with the reconstruction of missing docs by drafting omnibus consents, officer’s certificates and/or reconstrucing stock records or the entire minute book.
- Review jurisdictions where the company is or should be registered. Check status and register where necessary.
- Review stock records/certificates.
Contract Review: Review contracts to identify all change of control or anti-assignment provisions, third-party consent and/or notice requirements as well as manage obtaining the required consents and approvals.
Due Diligence Memorandum: The due diligence memorandum will identify potential liabilities and extraordinary materials risks; a list of required third party consents or approvals (i.e. landlords, service contracts, government agencies) and a review change of control provisions and requirements.

Compared to Other Virtual Paralegal Services Companies
All paralegal services companies are not equal. Velawcity Legal Support Services:

- Promises direct email responses or phone calls within an hour or less.
- Functions as a team. There is always a backup paralegal, who you are familiar with, in the event that your primary paralegal is on vacation or should you need additional services.
- Advances filing fees for established clients.
- Never charges a retainer.
Satisfaction Guarantee
If that isn’t enough, Velawcity also offers a satisfaction guarantee. So, when using Velawcity’s services you are guaranteed to receive value-added services. If not, we adjust – or write off – our invoice, per your request. We offer this as a safety net, but we’re happy to say over sixteen years, it’s been an extremely rare occurrence.
