September 17, 2025
On September 17, 2025, Cravath partner D. Scott Bennett participated in The L Suite’s 2025 General Counsel IPO Conference, which was held from September 16‑17 in San Francisco. The conference hosted general counsels and chief legal officers at early, growth and late‑stage private companies to discuss strategic insights and legal guidance for navigating the evolving IPO landscape, including market timing, raise sizing, managing late-stage investors, dual‑track and SPAC considerations and sector-specific momentum in areas like technology and AI. Scott co‑led a roundtable discussion entitled “Leading Through the Unknown: The GC’s Role in IPO‑Adjacent Crisis Management,” which explored how general counsels can proactively build crisis response into IPO planning, support the CEO and leadership team under pressure, maintain investor confidence and manage legal exposure when plans shift unexpectedly.
