Cadwalader has been shortlisted by the Financial Times for its innovative work on the $4 billion initial public offering of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings, Ltd. (“PSTH”), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), in the “The practice of law - Finance: unlocking capital” category of the publication’s forthcoming FT Innovative Lawyers 2020 North America Awards and Report.
In July 2020, Cadwalader advised PSTH on its $4 billion initial public offering – the largest-ever IPO by a SPAC. Beyond its size, PSTH is innovative by other measures, including a number of unprecedented transaction terms designed to mitigate issues found in typical, more formulaic SPACs and to create a more “investor-friendly” structure.
The Cadwalader team advising PSTH is led by Corporate partners Stephen Fraidin and Greg Patti and includes associates Niral Shah and Erica Hogan; and Tax associate Matthew Seitz.

The 2020 results will be announced at a virtual awards event on December 10, 2020, and the rankings will be published in both print and online as an FT special report.
