Now Available: IPO Guidebook (2025 Edition)
Client Alert | January 29, 2025
This guidebook offers an overview of the numerous decision points, procedures and vital considerations a company should contemplate before, during and after the IPO process.
Completing an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a significant milestone for many business owners, executives, directors and stockholders. However, the journey towards going public can be fraught with complexities and unexpected challenges. For companies seeking to raise capital, whether through an IPO or other alternatives, it is critical to understand the road ahead.
The insights in this guidebook are derived from Gibson Dunn’s vast experience representing clients across various sectors in many IPOs over the years. We capitalize on our representation of large and seasoned public companies to implement leading-edge corporate governance and public reporting practices.
The involvement in the IPO process of our unmatched Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance team is core to the IPO process. This enables our IPO teams to anticipate potential problems in drafting the registration statement and to reach key decision-makers at the Securities and Exchange Commission on an expedited basis to seek tailored guidance, waivers, or resolution of challenging comments.
