LAW810  AS  TRANSACTIONAL SKILLS III: LEGAL AND BUSINESS ISSUES IN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS

Course Description
This course will serve as an introduction to the transactional aspects of public and private capital markets. We examine how to address applicable laws relating to the private and public offering process. After examining the rules regulating exemptions from registration, we will focus on the registration process for an initial public offering, including the preparation of an S-1 registration statement, the application of the rules under the Securities Act of 1933, Regulations S-K and S-X and response to SEC comment letters. Among other assignments, students will prepare Risk Factors and an MD&A. We will also address the regulatory requirements of being a “public company” from the viewpoint of the issuer and its officers and directors.
