In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Chaz, founder of Churchwell, explains why D&O insurance is highly customizable and why wording matters more than most sponsors realize.

He shares real-world examples of how missing a single phrase, like “reverse merger,” has led carriers to deny SPAC-related claims. Chaz also describes how his firm works with clients post-de-SPAC, leveraging top D&O coverage attorneys to audit policies, uncover deficiencies, and fix them without raising costs.

For SPAC sponsors and targets, this episode highlights how tailoring policy language can make the difference between full protection and no coverage at all.
