IPO Launch Suite: From Preparation to Listing

Stage 1. Preparing the Company for IPO

At this stage, the attorney sits down with management and says: "Let's see if your company is ready for the big stage." Actions include:

1. Thoroughly reviewing corporate documents and business structure to ensure nothing ruins your IPO;
2. Conducting a financial audit to prevent the SEC from finding "surprises" in the reports;
3. Advising on corporate agreements and tax nuances.

Stage 2. Team Formation and Document Preparation

Here, the attorney becomes the "orchestra conductor." They:

1. Prepare the S-1 or F-1 prospectus (if the company is foreign);
2. Oversee the audit of financial statements and their preparation for investors;
3. Review all corporate agreements to ensure future investors don't find "hidden pitfalls."

Stage 3. Filing with the SEC

1. Here, the attorney becomes a "translator" between the company and the regulator:
2. Filing the registration form with the SEC;
3. Responding to regulator comments ("SEC says this, we say that");
4. Preparing management for public presentations to investors.

Stage 4. Roadshow and IPO Marketing

This is where the company goes public. The attorney:

1. Ensures investor presentations comply with all regulations;
2. Advises management on what can and cannot be said;
3. Ensures no "minor" legal nuance causes issues during meetings.

Stage 5. Stock Exchange Listing

The final moment: the company goes public. The attorney:

1. Verifies if everything is ready for NASDAQ or NYSE;
2. Assists in finalizing deals with underwriting banks;
3. Advises on post-listing obligations and public reporting.
