Investigation into LegalZoom.com, Inc. (LZ):

LegalZoom finds itself under increased scrutiny regarding the progress of its strategic plan to shift its revenue more heavily towards subscriptions versus transactions, including the upside market and pricing power of its BOIR (Beneficial Ownership Information Report) offering.

LegalZoom’s BOIR offering is intended to address customers’ business reporting under the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and company officials, including now-former CEO Dan Wernikoff, have touted BOIR as critical to successfully executing its strategic plan toward a shift to a heavier subscription revenue model.

However, questions arose on July 9, 2024, when LegalZoom announced, without explanation, that Wernikoff abruptly left the company. The company also slashed its 2024 revenue and free cash flow guidance, again without explanation.

Analysts reacted negatively, with JPMorgan reportedly stating “‘[i]nvestors are likely to take this as a signal of newfound, operational troubles at the company’” and “‘[o]ur thesis – which expected improved results would bear fruit in 2H24 and 2025 – appears compromised.’”

This news sent the price of LegalZoom shares 25% lower on July 10, 2024.

“We’re investigating whether LegalZoom may have misrepresented the true progress it was making and its pricing power regarding certain of its product offerings,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
