This practice note discusses conducting due diligence interviews for a securities offering, which are meetings or calls among the underwriters, their counsel, the issuer, and other parties to discuss the issuer's business, operations, and financial results. The purpose of these interviews is to help the underwriters perform a reasonable investigation, ensure the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure documents, confirm the valuation of the issuer's securities, and support the legal opinions and negative assurance letters.
