Event Summary
Despite the economic hurdles brought by the pandemic last year, 2021 saw an upsurge of initial public offerings (IPOs) through special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). The sudden increase, which continued this 2022, has prompted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to better probe all related activities involving SPACs and ensure that these transactions are compliant with existing laws. While this move meant a safer and more reliable transition for private companies wanting to go public, it has also opened newer risks of litigation and enforcement actions.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a comprehensive discussion of recent SPAC-related acquisitions. Speakers will delve into an in-depth analysis of the current trends, litigation risks, and enforcement actions. They will also provide practical compliance strategies for transitioning private companies amidst a rapidly evolving legal climate.

This LIVE Webcast will discuss the following key topics:
• Overview of the SPAC Context
• Recent SPAC Acquisitions
• Litigation Hurdles
• SEC Enforcement Actions
• Practical Compliance Tips
