This course is designed to introduce students to the process of an initial public offering (IPO). The course starts by providing students with an overview of the IPO process, including explanations of key terminology, key securities regulations relevant to the process, and a description of the key parties involved. It then focuses on the typical actions and documentation required during the various stages of the IPO process, as well as the role of each of the parties individually and collectively. It also discusses the legal liabilities the various parties must be aware of in connection with the IPO process. The course concludes by addressing what happens once a registration statement is “effective” and discussing several alternatives to an IPO. The course uses numerous recent IPO examples to illustrate various points.
