Webinar: Topic Nevada v. Delaware - The New Market for Corporate Law

Start Date: 10/23/2024 11:00 AM EDT
End Date: 10/23/2024 11:30 AM EDT


For decades Delaware has been the undisputed leader in the market for corporate law. And yet, now Delaware’s superiority is being publicly challenged. Elon Musk has vocally criticized Delaware Courts, incorporated X (formally Twitter), xAI, and Neuralink in Nevada, and in June reincorporated Tesla in Texas. In a recent research paper entitled “Nevada v. Delaware: The New Market for Corporate Law,” Michal Barzuza, Professor of Law at the University of Virgina, analyzes: (1) Nevada’s corporate law; (2) the competitive pressures it poses to Delaware; and (3) the potential effects this pressure could have on Delaware corporate law and institutional investors.

Jeff Mahoney, CII’s general counsel, will interview Professor Barzuza about her paper and pose questions submitted by CII members.
