SPACs
Weil has significant experience involving SPACs or special purpose acquisition companies. Our cross-disciplinary team of highly experienced capital markets, private equity, M&A, tax and executive compensation and employee benefits lawyers brings to bear their deep knowledge and experience in SPAC IPOs and business combinations involving SPACs, including PIPE investments in connection with SPAC business combinations and guide clients throughout the entire SPAC life cycle – before and after a SPAC business combination transaction.
Over the last several years, SPACs have gone mainstream with numerous private equity sponsors raising SPACs and selling portfolio companies to SPACs, as well as, companies combining with SPACs. Transactions involving SPACs present unique challenges (and opportunities), which require experienced counsel. Weil regularly advises:
- SPAC sponsors and underwriters in structuring and raising capital for SPACs
- SPAC sponsors in obtaining forward commitments for SPACs and PIPE investments in connection with acquisitions
- SPACs in acquiring target companies
- Private equity sponsors in selling portfolio companies to SPACs
- Companies combining with SPACs
Given our leading position in this market, we have significant experience with all of the SPAC market participants, including the leading investment bankers, SPAC sponsors, PIPE investors and lawyers advising SPACs.
