Stephen Alicanti – DLA Piper LLP (US)

DLA Piper LLP (US) has maintained strong activity levels, advising on a range of IPOs before that market shut down, and then moving on to a steady pipeline of follow-on offerings. The firm worked on an impressive number of SPAC IPOs and during 2022 advised on a series of de-SPAC transactions. It is best known for mid-cap deals, equally strong for issuer and underwriter engagements. Life sciences, technology, REITs, aerospace and defense are key sectors. New York partner Christopher Paci leads the capital markets group, which includes chair of the SPAC transactional practice Jeffrey Selman in San Francisco and New York-based emerging talent Stephen Alicanti, who is also noted for SPAC transactions. Seattle-based Bianca LaCaille impresses at associate level.
