Mainstage Session – The Room Where It Happens: Inside the IPO Process

Cooley partner Dave Peinsipp will join a mainstage panel featuring leaders from across the legal and finance communities to discuss the realities of executing a successful IPO. The conversation will explore how a small group of key stakeholders – including the general counsel, chief financial officer, investor relations lead, communications lead, CEO, and issuer and underwriter counsel – work together to navigate the complexities of the public offering process. Panelists will examine critical coordination points, including timeline management, drafting responsibilities, decision-making authority, quiet period considerations and cross-functional communication as companies move toward an IPO.
