The Vulnerability of Delaware's Corporate Charter Monopoly
April 7, 2021 2:45 PM-4:15 PM
Delaware has won the competition for corporate charters, and it is heading toward dominance in the competition for LLC formation as well. Many commentators have concluded that competition over corporate charters is no longer significant, and that a federal chartering option is the only way out of Delaware's dominance in corporate law. But Delaware does have vulnerabilities that other states have not effectively tested. Powerful interest groups in Delaware prevent it from making certain reforms that would benefit managers and shareholders alike. This program explores the prospects for other states to exploit these vulnerabilities to restore state competition over corporate charters.
Speakers
Robert Anderson
Robert Anderson received his JD from New York University School of Law in 2000 and was associated with Sullivan & Cromwell LLP from 2000 to 2003 where his practice focused on mergers and acquisitions and financial institutions regulation. In 2008, he received his PhD in Political Science at Stanford University, where his fields included American Politics, Political Organizations, and Political Methodology (Statistics). Professor Anderson's primary research interests are corporate and securities law, positive political theory of the judiciary, and quantitative and empirical approaches to law. In particular, he has worked extensively on modeling judicial behavior and developing computational and empirical techniques for analyzing corporate transactions and corporate governance.
