Winston & Strawn partner Aparna Sehgal spoke with Structured Credit Investor to discuss the findings of the Bayes Business School’s latest European Commercial Real Estate Lending report and the legal issues and trends underpinning them.

According to the report, U.K. property values and deal activity have rebounded faster, while European markets remain challenged by a mix of stalled development sales, rising capital costs, and stricter environmental upgrade requirements hold back volumes.

An IPO is an initial public offering, in which shares of a private company are made available publicly for the first time, allowing a company to raise equity capital from public investors. Companies must meet specific legal, governance, and accounting requirements imposed by the securities exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to conduct an IPO. Companies hire investment banks to market the offering, evaluate investor demand, and set the IPO price.
