This Summary does not contain all of the information that you will need to successfully complete your global IPO. You really should read this entire guide as well as the other Latham & Watkins publications referred to in this guide if you want to get the full picture. Actually, you should just hire Latham & Watkins to act as your international counsel and then you will not need to read any of this stuff. However, if you want an advance copy of the playbook and are not yet ready to choose your counsel, you can read this Summary and get a pretty good sense of what to expect in the global IPO process. Because this guide covers many different jurisdictions, the specific requirements and timing can vary considerably.
