Litigation Trends in Delaware and How Businesses and Boards Can Mitigate Risk
Show Notes

New structures, new rules?  Delaware’s Chancery Court provides guidance on disclosure, conflicts, and risk allocation. We take a look at the latest Delaware rulings and what they say about SPAC directors' fiduciary duty, as well as COVID’s effect on M&A deals, and how corporations and boards can mitigate their liability. Join host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm’s thought leaders on these subjects — Jim Ducayet and Charlotte Newell.

Jim is a partner in Sidley’s office in Chicago and a co-head of the firm’s Securities and Shareholder Litigation practice. Charlotte is a partner in Sidley’s office in New York and a member of the firm’s Securities and Shareholder Litigation and Corporate Governance and Executive Compensation practices.
