Tom Rose, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Corporate Practice Group, was quoted in the November 4, 2024 Law360 article, “US IPO Activity Hits Standstill as Election Takes Center Stage.”

“If Trump were to prevail, the sentiment generally is that a Trump administration would reduce some of the regulatory barriers and burdens in certain industries — for example in the life science sector and with cryptocurrencies — and it probably would jumpstart the IPO and capital markets environment generally for those industries and others starting early in 2025,” Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP’s Thomas Rose told Law360.

Whereas if Harris wins, Rose added, market participants expect a “continuation of the same in terms of the regulatory environment” — at least for a period of time.
