"Before" is probably the best casual replacement for "no sooner than" if you want to invert the meaning of the sentence.

In a legal document or contract, you should probably add a specific time to make the meaning clear. "Before December 1" could be interpreted to mean "Before the start of business December 1" or even (less justifiably) "Before the close of business December 1", whereas "no later than 11:59:59 PM Pacific Standard Time November 30" is absolutely unambiguous.
