Start ahead, GO Public
-
Drawing on Cooley’s decade-long leadership at the top of the US IPO market, GO Public is designed to:
-
Start with the client, not a precedent.
Build the initial draft, leveraging company-specific information and deep research, using Cooley’s drafting guidance and detailed background instructions to inform the work.
-
Accelerate speed to quality.
Complete an initial, bespoke S-1 draft in minutes rather than days, accelerating the path to substantive legal work and putting our team’s judgment and experience to work on the highest-priority issues sooner.
-
Adapt as the deal evolves.
Update the S-1 as transaction terms change – all with a few simple prompts.
-
Increase efficiency and predictability.
Give management teams more time to focus on running their businesses and handling other aspects of the IPO process while supporting more predictable planning around time, resources and spend.
-
Keep judgment with Cooley lawyers.
Our experienced capital markets lawyers are involved every step of the way, remaining responsible for legal analysis and the final work product.
