The Revolution in Corporate Law – Corporate law is in a season of strife. Over the last decade, virtually every major area of corporate law jurisprudence has come under attack. This includes what the purpose of the corporation is (e.g., to maximize shareholder wealth or stakeholders concerns), whether parties can contract around corporate law fiduciary duty doctrines, how to regulate controlling shareholders, changes in mergers & acquisitions practice, whether shareholders can put forward ESG proposals, how shareholder voting works, whether we should regulate institutional investors, whether firms can leave Delaware, what are the board’s duties to prevent corporate wrongdoing, how and when shareholders can sue directors and officers, the role of technology in corporate governance, and much more. This seminar examines these developments and assesses what implications they have for our understanding of corporate law and governance. We begin with the developments in the US — specifically Delaware — and then fan out to other jurisdictions around the world. These changes are global and likely to reverberate through corporate law for years to come making the question of whether there is a revolution in corporate law and how to understand it most critical.
