Latham has a great IPO guide that goes through the S-1 section by section.
Came here to say the same - that guide is gold
For circle ups your midlevel (or whomever) should give you precedent comfort letters and circle ups from past deals with the same auditor. Then you follow that as a guide/do your best. General rule is to err on the side of over-circling for the initial pass. Circle ups will then be negotiated with the auditor as to what they can/cannot give comfort on.
As to what are S-1s, I recommend practical law for general background, in addition to summaries from firms like Latham and MoFo that you can find by googling. RBsource is best to look at for the actual rules of Form S-1. Also recommend just looking on intelligize at other S-1s in the same industry to get a feel of what is standard across registration statements. In general, cap markets knowledge just comes with time.
To know generally do i need to conduct a circle up, that is prepared by underwriters counsel in connection with the comfort letter that auditors provide to underwriters at pricing and closing of underwritten offerings.
Thanks everyone. I'm going to print out Latham's IPO guide.
