Overview

Why you should attend

Understanding the IPO process is an essential skill for both legal and business advisors.  With the improvement in the markets over the last year and a half, IPOs are happening with increasing frequency.  If you have not worked on an IPO recently, now is the time to refresh and hone your skills for the continuing flow of offerings.

We have assembled a faculty of experts, including securities counselors and litigators, an underwriter, and a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission staff.  They will guide you through the initial public offering process and highlight issues presented by new regulations and the current state of the market.  Each speaker will look at the offering from the perspective of his or her respective discipline.

What you will learn

  • Timetable and responsibilities
  • Preparatory work and corporate clean-up
  • Drafting the necessary disclosure documents
  • Key parts of the underwriting agreement
  • The important accounting requirements and issues
  • Restrictions on offering period communications
  • What the SEC does and why
  • Corporate governance issues and best practices
  • Unique issues for particular kinds of offerings

Who should attend

We have created this program to appeal not only to outside and in-house counsel, but also to accountants, business people and others interested in gaining a detailed overview of the initial public offering process.
