As securities litigation involving SPACs continues to rise, SPAC sponsors are increasingly finding themselves named in lawsuits. In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Mike Blankenship and Chaz Churchwell break down what sponsors need to know about D&O (Directors & Officers) insurance in this shifting legal environment.
Chaz shares recent litigation trends—including the fact that 96% of SPAC-related securities lawsuits in 2024 named the sponsor team—and emphasizes the importance of specific endorsements that extend D&O coverage to sponsors. Many teams may not realize that sponsor protection isn’t automatically included, even though adding it is often free. The episode also touches on the rising cost of legal defense and the importance of evaluating policy limits in light of today’s risk exposure.
