SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: SPACs\, Direct Listings\, and SEC Reform
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: SPACs\, Direct Listings\, and SEC Reform\nPresenter: Professor Andrew Tuch\, Washington University in St Louis \nDespite recent market volatility\, mergers of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and direct listings remain viable alternatives to IPOs in the United States. SPACs continue to outnumber traditional IPOs. Direct listings have allowed companies\, including Slack\, Palantir\, and Coinbase\, to go public. \nHowever\, SPAC mergers and direct listings sidestep basic investor protections that apply in the traditional IPO process\, including underwriter liability. Increased reliance on these IPO-alternatives is part of a increasing trend in the US of companies accessing capital without subjecting themselves to the rigors of public market regulation. In response\, the SEC released highly anticipated reforms proposing wide-ranging changes. \nThis presentation will consider these IPO-alternatives\, market trends\, and recently proposed SEC reforms. \nAbout the presenter:\nAndrew Tuch is a professor of law at Washington University in St Louis. He has published widely in the US\, the UK\, and Australia\, and his scholarship has been cited by Australian and US courts\, including numerous times by the Delaware Court of Chancery. He has served on the National Adjudicatory Council for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)\, the primary regulator for U.S. brokers and dealers. Before entering academia\, he practiced corporate law in New York and London. He holds LLM and SJD degrees from Harvard Law School\, where he was a Fulbright Scholar. He is Australian. \nChair: Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School \nCommentator: Daniel Scotti\, Partner\, MinterEllison\, Sydney \n  \nWebinar via Zoom\, Tuesday 26 July 2022\, 8am AEST \nOnce you register\, your confirmation will provide the Zoom details. \n  \nThis seminar is sponsored by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School.
