Partners Branden Berns and Ryan Murr were quoted in Law360 Healthcare Authority’s (PDF) “As Stigma Fades, Reverse Mergers Boom in Biotech.” Branden said that companies are increasingly asking him to work through the pros and cons of an IPO versus a reverse merger versus a de-SPAC. “We would usually be the ones saying, ‘Hey, you could also consider doing a reverse merger’,” he said.

Discussing previous concerns about reverse mergers, Ryan said that “whatever taint existed historically, I think the market’s past that now.”
