What happened
Law firm Cooley built 'GO Public,' a proprietary agentic system on ChatGPT Work, to accelerate IPO preparation by synthesizing client information, public sources, and curated precedents into a tailored starting point for lawyer review. Cooley advised on 180 deals totaling $51.5 billion in 2025 and frames the tool as a way to surface issues earlier and free lawyers for higher-judgment work.
Why it matters
This is an OpenAI-published customer story, not independent reporting—treat it as a sales reference for ChatGPT Work's enterprise agentic harness. The only actionable signal for builders is the architecture pattern: a controlled agentic workflow where agents synthesize and draft, but lawyers review and validate every output before it becomes a deliverable. If you are building agentic products for regulated workflows, this is the same human-in-the-loop pattern you should be designing around.
Discussion angle
What the case study deliberately omits: error rates, fallback handling, and how Cooley's legal engineers actually implemented the review-and-validate loop—useful to dissect as a gap analysis of vendor case studies.
