Cooley Integrates ChatGPT Work to Enhance IPO Advisory Services

Cooley has integrated ChatGPT Work into its IPO advisory services, enhancing its capabilities in managing complex information. In 2025, Cooley advised on 180 deals globally, with a total deal volume exceeding $51.5 billion. Over the past two decades, the firm has led in venture-backed IPOs, advising more than any other law firm.

David Wang, Cooley's Chief Innovation Officer, emphasized the firm's commitment to innovation, stating, "With GO Public and the agentic harness that we built using OpenAI’s technology, we were able to bring this forward into the AI era." This integration aims to transform the traditional legal workflow, which has historically been resistant to change, by automating the sorting of extensive data sets that were previously managed manually.

Dave Peinsipp, Partner and Co-Chair of Cooley’s global capital markets group, noted that an IPO is a critical moment for companies, demanding significant management attention. He added, "The point isn’t simply to do the same work faster. It’s to get to a strong starting point sooner."

This development follows a broader trend in the legal industry towards adopting AI technologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in capital markets practices. Cooley's initiative represents a significant shift in how legal firms can leverage AI to improve their service offerings, particularly in high-stakes scenarios like IPOs.
