Cooley, an international law firm advising on 180 IPO deals globally in 2025 totaling $51.5 billion, is accelerating capital markets work using ChatGPT Work. The firm developed GO Public, a proprietary AI product built on ChatGPT Work, to streamline the intensive IPO preparation process. David Wang, Chief Innovation Officer at Cooley, explains that IPOs involve thousands of tasks requiring constant synthesis and analysis.

GO Public's agentic harness analyzes information so lawyers can review and validate the work, providing a tailored starting point for IPOs. Dave Peinsipp, partner and co-chair of Cooley's global capital markets group, notes that GO Public helps move through intensive preparation faster, allowing lawyers and management teams to focus on strategic decisions where judgment and market experience matter most. Before GO Public, teams began with precedents from comparable companies; now they start with the client itself, combining provided information, public sources, and curated precedents.

The system provides a controlled workflow for agents, ensuring human oversight where needed while leveraging AI for efficiency.
