This course introduces students to initial public offerings (“IPOs”) from the perspective of a leading practitioner. We will begin with an overview of the IPO process. Then each class session will focus on a different aspect of the deal, including initial preparatory steps, who the players are, and the various processes and documents involved. The course will utilize various articles and case studies to give students a sense of what the IPO process entails. We will focus on practical applications of the rules to real-world situations, with the goal of preparing students post-graduation to be able to properly advise issuers, investors and underwriters on an IPO.
This class covers highly specific types of securities transactions which are unique to the United States. Accordingly, to participate in class discussions or fully follow the materials you will need to have taken U.S. Securities Regulations or worked at a U.S. investment bank. We strongly encourage you to take this class only if you have that background.
