Re:                 LegalZoom.com, Inc.
Request to Withdraw Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-181332)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), LegalZoom.com, Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby requests the immediate withdrawal of the above-referenced registration statement, together with all exhibits and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”).  The Registration Statement was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 10, 2012.

 

The Registrant submits this request for immediate withdrawal as it does not intend to pursue the contemplated public offering at this time.  The Registrant confirms that no securities have been or will be distributed, issued or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein.  The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission.

 

The Registrant acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement.  However, the Registrant requests in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited to the Registrant’s account for any future use.

 

The Registrant advises the Commission pursuant to Rule 477(c) under the Securities Act that it may undertake a subsequent private offering in reliance on Rule 155(c) under the Securities Act.
