Full Description
We are
pleased to present the ninth edition of Global Legal Insights - Initial
Public Offerings.
An initial
public offering is a transformative experience in the life cycle of a company,
converting a privately owned entity into a publicly traded company with all of
the opportunities and challenges that this journey entails. While the basic framework of an IPO is
broadly similar across the globe, each jurisdiction approaches the offering,
listing and corporate governance aspects of an IPO differently.
This ninth
edition of Global Legal Insights - Initial Public Offerings provides an
overview of the IPO process, the regulatory architecture of these transactions,
the responsibilities and obligations of public companies, the potential risks,
liabilities and pitfalls of going public, and a summary overview of the recent
IPO market in 18 global jurisdictions. Each
chapter is authored by leading local practitioners who have drawn on their
experience and expertise to provide relevant and helpful guidance.
We hope that
companies and shareholders considering an IPO, as well as counsel, investment
bankers, financial advisors, business leaders, the investing community and
other interested parties, find this book to be a helpful resource in
understanding the IPO process in their jurisdiction of focus, as well as a tool
of comparative learning for understanding how the systems and processes across
many of the world's principal markets compare and contrast.
