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.

With the passage this weekend of $95 billion in funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan by the House of Representatives, some focus has gone back towards the defense sector, which has generally had a good year as a whole.
