达维和佳利等共同助力瑞幸咖啡登陆纳斯达克、总募集资金净额约5.7亿美元

美国达维律师事务所和金杜律师事务所代表瑞幸咖啡在美国纳斯达克交易所正式挂牌，总募集资金净额约5.7亿美元。瑞幸咖啡目前是中国第二大咖啡连锁品牌，成立至今发展迅速。在该项目中，美国佳利律师事务所和竞天公诚律师事务所共同为承销商提供法律服务。承销商被给与额外认购495万ADSs的选择权。

瑞幸咖啡在2017年10月正式投入运营，当时在北京只有一家门店。发展至今，瑞幸咖啡在全国28个城市共设有2370家门店，得益于其开创的技术驱动的“新零售”模式，也因瑞幸不惜在社交媒体上给出大方补贴、快速递送、“病毒式”促销等营销方式。瑞幸计划在2019年底，仅就店面数量而言，成为中国第一大咖啡连锁品牌。
