WeWork Cos. is close to naming JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to lead its initial public offering next month, while sweetening the fees it pays banks, according to people with knowledge of the talks.
The office-sharing venture is expected to award JPMorgan the coveted first -- or lead left -- position in its syndicate of banks handling the deal, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the negotiations are private. The terms and the hierarchy of the full banking group involved aren’t yet formalized and could change, the people said.
