Attorneys are rushing to SPACs’ defense: Nearly 60 corporate law firms put their names to a rejection of recent suits against blank-check firms, and that suggests a clear-cut case, a serious threat to their business, or both, richardbeales1 says.

NEW YORK, Aug 31 - The joke goes that if you ask two lawyers you get three opinions. In the latest twist for special-purpose acquisition companies, though, nearly 60 corporate law firms have to a shared rejection of recent legal action against blank-check vehicles. It suggests a clear-cut case, a serious business threat, or both.and other SPACs claim the vehicles – which raise cash with the goal of finding a merger target – should be regulated far more tightly under a U.S. law governing investment companies that hold securities . It creates uncertainty not only for the vehicles targeted directly but for hundreds of other SPACs.
In their response, the legal eagles say the lawsuits are “without factual or legal basis.” Going public with that stance suggests they genuinely have little doubt. But all but a dozen of their firms also feature infor SPAC attorneys compiled by SPAC Research, currently topped by Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. That’s another explanation for the show of unanimity: The blank-check phenomenon is a fee stream worth defending.
