In light of the significant growth in the number of public offerings in 2023–2024 and the dominant role of individual investors, special attention should be paid to mechanisms for protecting the rights of the investors participating in public offerings. In the natural relationship between the organizer of the placement, the issuer, and the investor, what responsibility should be borne by the organizer? Can the investor claim damages from the organizer? Maintaining the share price after the transaction. Is Russian law duly armed to deal with these situations? Disclosure of information by issuers both at the IPO and upon completion of the public offering: should there be an adaptation to fit the needs of retail investors?
