Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher is steering SpaceX through what has become the largest stock market debut ever, while Davis Polk & Wardwell is guiding the underwriting banks led by Goldman Sachs. Reports from Bloomberg indicate that SpaceX has committed to $25.5 million in legal costs in its amended S-1 — a figure that dwarfs the typical IPO legal spend, though it’s broadly in line with what other mega-deals have paid out.

For context, the largest US IPO of 2025, Medline’s $6.3 billion listing advised by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, generated $25.2 million in legal fees and expenses, while Cerebras Systems’ $5.5 billion IPO, handled by Latham & Watkins, racked up $4.1 million.

SpaceX’s number sits almost exactly where Medline landed except SpaceX is aiming for a deal roughly twelve times the size.

e firm that built its empire on highway billboards and the populist slogan “For the People” is now talking to Wall Street.

Morgan & Morgan, the largest personal injury law firm in the United States, has hired JPMorgan to explore a minority stake sale that could raise more than $1 billion and pave the way for a public listing years from now.

Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan, a Florida-based billionaire and political donor, confirmed he was exploring deal options in a statement to Bloomberg Law, describing the discussions as “purely exploratory” with no immediate plan or timeline in place. “We’re simply listening to people smarter than us and working to understand the pros and cons,” he told BloombergLaw.

The story, first reported by the Financial Times and subsequently confirmed by Reuters and Bloomberg Law, lands as a landmark moment for the US legal services industry, which has long resisted outside capital while watching adjacent professional services sectors transform under private equity ownership.
