The Delaware Incorporation Debate with SunLaw
Wednesday, May 7, 2025
11:00 AM – Noon PT
Join Us
Join us for a webinar to discuss the recent trends in entities considering a corporate exit from Delaware (being labeled the “DExit” phenomenon).
Following recent court decisions involving controlling stockholder transactions, a number of Delaware incorporated corporations (including certain high profile companies) have decided to reincorporate (or are considering reincorporation) to other states (particularly Nevada and Texas).
But is the grass really greener on the other side? Will the recently-adopted amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) and recent Delaware Supreme Court decisions address concerns about Delaware?
Join Fenwick Partner Jen Hitchcock and Counsel Wendy Grasso and Morris Nichols Partner Kyle Pinder as they discuss how we got here, the current landscape (including how the Delaware legislature and courts are responding), and other important considerations for companies considering the choice of domicile.
This one-hour webinar will be recorded and is eligible for CLE credit.
This webinar is also sponsored by SunLaw, a dynamic community that supports, educates, advances, connects, and inspires women in-house counsel to maximize their fullest personal and professional potential and lead.
