Virtual
Invite-only Interactive Webinar for UK/European Investor Friends of the Firm
The U.S. exit landscape is evolving rapidly. While IPOs are still the less-traveled path, they remain a sought-after outcome for premium returns.
A number of alternative approaches – including direct listings and SPACs - are making U.S. IPOs accessible to a wider array of companies. While initially appealing, the differences in outcome opportunity and underlying risks require careful consideration.
During this session, experienced IPO practitioners from Wilson Sonsini’s U.S. and UK offices will explore a range of current U.S. and cross-border IPO topics and then proceed to breakout roundtable discussions with attendees.
Topics to be discussed include:
