The first quarter of 2023 has proven to be a challenging period for the US IPO market, with only 29 IPOs raising a modest $2.3 billion. This follows the slowest year in decades. The IPO landscape has been marred by hawkish signals from the Fed, renewed recession fears, and turbulence within the banking sector, which led to a significant spike in market volatility.

Despite the challenging environment, Bevilacqua PLLC has stood out from the crowd, clinching the #5 spot on Renaissance Capital’s 1Q23 IPO Market’s Law Firm Leaderboard.

Bevilacqua PLLC skillfully handled four IPOs that raised a combined $38 million, marking a significant achievement for the boutique corporate law firm.
