In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Nick Morgan, Partner at Paul Hastings LLP and co-founder of ICAN (Investor Choice Advocates Network), reflects on his years of work in the SPAC space both with paying clients and in the context of SEC investigations.

Nick shares that while ICAN has not yet taken up a SPAC case from a nonprofit litigation perspective, he has represented numerous clients in the SPAC ecosystem during an active period from 2021 through 2024. Many of those matters involved SEC investigations under Chair Gensler’s administration, some of which never resulted in enforcement actions.

For SPAC sponsors, boards, and investors, Nick’s perspective underscores how regulatory scrutiny may be intense even if it doesn’t always end in public enforcement.
