Other Outstanding Achievements
- See the Summary Statement, above. As a result of being the lawyer that created the "SPAC," or "Specified Purpose Acquisition Company," way back in 1993, I have been actively involved in the SPAC space longer than any other lawyer in the world. Graubard Miller's unparalleled SPAC expertise grew again in 2025 -- we once again will rank as one of the top ten law firms handling SPAC IPOs. We are extremely proud of the fact that SPACs (our "baby") have become a world recognized asset class and that we have been able to maintain our role as a leading law firm in this space, despite the fact that we are substantially smaller than other law firms with a SPAC presence.
Honors
- For the year ended December 31, 2025, Graubard Miller will once again be ranked as one of the top ten law firms handling SPAC IPOs, based on the number of completed IPOs during the year., SPACInsider
