Davis Polk partner and Capital Markets practice global chair Richard Truesdell was featured on S&P Global’s “The Pipeline: M&A and IPO Insights” podcast discussing the recent uptick in IPO activity as well as the sectors that are producing deals, the regulatory changes impacting IPOs, and how virtual road shows are making it easier to go public during the summer.
