Corporate governance is influenced by a wide range of government regulations, legislative initiatives, stakeholder and public demands, responsibilities to investors and case law. On this episode, Michael Peregrine welcomes Professor Charles Elson, Director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, for a discussion on the complexities of corporate law and governance today. Mr. Elson's perspective on corporate governance best practices and recent cases from the Delaware courts will benefit directors of public, private and nonprofit corporations alike, and reminds us that the law of corporate governance is constantly evolving and being extended in new and different ways.

Insider

The director of John Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance spoke to The Deal’s Activist Investing Today podcast about why he believes Third Point’s Dan Loeb is fortunate for getting what he got in a settlement with Campbell Soup, considering that opponents to his efforts controlled 41% of the equity. Loeb’s success at installing two dissidents on the company’s board is quite significant because it means “you will have independent voices in the boardroom.” Elson also argued that shareholders have “practically” no rights when it comes to a new board structure at Dell Technologies.

Charles Elson of the University of Delaware discusses whether Delaware courts will provide “business judgment rule” deference to directors of companies that offer public shareholders only non-voting shares. Judges do not second-guess board decisions under the business judgment rule, which is based in part on the shareholder franchise.
