Summary
Cooley unveiled GO Public, a proprietary AI product built on ChatGPT Work to speed IPO preparation by generating a tailored starting point for lawyer review.
The system replaces the old practice of adapting a comparable-company precedent by combining client information, public sources and curated precedents inside a controlled agent workflow with required human validation.
Cooley says that first-pass automation lets lawyers and management spend more time on judgment-heavy decisions, disclosure challenges and strategic issues that shape an offering.
The launch extends AI into one of the firm’s busiest practices: Cooley advised on 180 deals worth more than $51.5 billion in 2025 and says the model could expand beyond IPOs to broader capital-markets work.
Will Cooley's new AI tool finally slash the massive billable hours clients pay for IPO preparation, or just boost the firm's profit margins?
As AI handles the heavy lifting of IPO drafts, how will law firms prevent attorneys from blindly trusting automated starting points?
Could an AI agent's hidden hallucination in a multi-billion dollar IPO filing trigger the legal industry's first massive technology malpractice lawsuit?
