Cooley Accelerates IPO Work with 'GO Public', an AI Tool Built on ChatGPT Work

International law firm Cooley has developed and deployed its proprietary AI product 'GO Public', built on ChatGPT Work. This tool is designed to accelerate the complex information analysis and preparation processes involved in IPO work.

GO Public leverages OpenAI's agentic harness technology. It provides a controlled workflow that clearly distinguishes between steps that can be automated by agents and steps requiring essential review by lawyers. Previously reliant on precedents from similar companies, the tool now combines client information, public sources, and curated precedents to generate customized starting points.

The core value lies in 'Speed to quality'. Beyond simple speed improvements, by handling initial filtering and information arrangement, AI allows lawyers to focus on high-value activities such as legal judgment, verification of disclosure content, and strategic thinking. This helps reduce management distraction during IPO preparation and allocates more time to business storytelling and final offering decisions.

The collaboration between Cooley and OpenAI combines legal domain expertise with AI engineering knowledge to ensure the accuracy and accountability of results. Cooley views this as the future vision for capital markets practice and is noting the potential to expand beyond IPOs to broader capital markets transactions.
