Strategies for going public
Fourth edition
The market for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) has never been more complex or challenging. The legacy of the financial crisis and the economic volatility that continues to impact the markets have made investors even more diligent in their scrutiny of IPOs. Moreover, new legislation introduced since the crisis has only added to the complexity of these transactions. In particular, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) have added many new requirements and considerations to the IPO process. Finally, timing is critical and essential, and being able to take advantage of windows of opportunity is key to a successful IPO.
