From event organizers, Latham & Watkins:
“The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, has changed the IPO process in the United States for a new category of issuer, called an emerging growth company or EGC. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies benefit from a streamlined IPO process and phased transition period, or on-ramp, from private to public company.
During the past year, Latham advised issuers or their underwriters in nearly 25% of all US IPOs completed by EGCs; more than any other law firm. We are pleased to host a panel discussion on how the IPO process has changed as a result of the JOBS Act. The panelists will discuss their experiences and observations of the IPO market post-JOBS Act and provide insights into the 2013 EGC IPO market. A comprehensive report, authored by Latham & Watkins, that analyzes the EGC IPO landscape and discusses market trends, practice points and lessons learned during the past year, will be discussed and distributed.
