Along with my co-editors, Iman Anabtawi, Sung Hui Kim, and James Park, I am delighted to announce the publication of a volume of edited essays on Delaware corporate law by some of the leading academic and practitioner experts in the field:
Delaware is the state of incorporation for almost two-thirds of the Fortune 500 companies, as well as more than half of all companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and other major stock exchanges. This gives Delaware a seemingly unchallengeable position as the dominant producer of US corporate law. In recent years, however, some observers have suggested that Delaware's competitive position is eroding. Other states have long tried to chip away at Delaware's position, and recent Delaware legal developments may have strengthened the case for incorporating outside Delaware. More important, however, the federal government increasingly is preempting corporate governance law. The contributors to this volume are leading academics and practitioners with decades of experience in Delaware corporate law. They bring together a variety of perspectives that collectively provide the reader with a broad understanding of how Delaware achieved its dominant position and the threats it faces.
- Readers will benefit from high-profile experts bringing their deep knowledge to bear on the issues
- Contributors include leading corporate law practitioners, providing practical insights
- The authors have a wide range of opinions about the quality of Delaware law, with some maintaining that Delaware law is of high quality and others arguing that it is vague and indeterminate
