It’s been an incredible first half of 2018 for SPACs and we expect the second half of the year to be just as busy. Considering how heavy the SPAC IPO calendar has been this year, we anticipate running another Tournament for the Legal League at the end of 2018 and then another annual Underwriters Tournament in June of 2019.
*As a reminder, we will be publishing our second quarter and first half of 2018 League Tables next week, so check back for results.
