To help leaders at late-stage technology and biotech companies prepare for a planned public listing, Fenwick capital markets partners Ran Ben-Tzur and Per Chilstrom, and associate Joshua Damm, sat down recently with John Orta, Chief Legal Officer and Head of Corporate Development at Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND), and Raj Aji, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer at BILL (NYSE: BILL), about the strategic steps a company can take 18+ months prior to listing day, including how to think about public company readiness in today’s uncertain climate.
