Introduction to IPOs (Initial Public Offerings)

This class is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the overall transaction process focusing on public offerings and specifically IPOs, from inception to closing of a deal. The class starts by providing an overview of the practical steps, key considerations, and documentation that are involved at each stage of the deal process, and then leads participants through the regulatory restrictions applicable to each period in the offering process through closing. Particular focus will be given to the role of the junior associate in the process.

Training courses associates and partners love and law firms need.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the initial public offering (or IPO) process and typical working group;
  • Differentiate between the different periods and the activities for each period;
  • Review and comment on a registration statement;
  • Advise a client on pre-IPO publicity; and
  • Assemble basic documentation for a private placement.
