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.

What Is Pre-IPO?

A pre-IPO placement is a late-stage offering to raise funds by a company in advance of its initial public offering.

Individual investors rarely participate in pre-IPO placements. They are generally restricted to high-net-worth individuals with a sophisticated knowledge of the financial markets.
