Federal Chartering Revisited, Donald E. Schwartz
Federal Chartering Revisited, Donald E. Schwartz
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The protections that corporation law provided to shareholders and to our economic community against the excesses and complacency of corporate directors and managers have undergone a general weakening. Although it is uncertain whether the ALI can accomplish effective and meaningful reforms, this effort may be the most important attempt by the corporate community to reform itself.
Beyond Managerialism: Investor Capitalism?, Alfred F. Conard
Beyond Managerialism: Investor Capitalism?, Alfred F. Conard
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Capitalism, in most large public corporations, has been subtly transformed from a system of dominance by the suppliers of capital to a system of dominance by the managers, dubbed "managerialism." In many respects, managerialism is beneficial to investors and other enterprise constituencies, since managers' rewards typically grow with the profitability of the enterprise. But managerialism permits drastic wastes of resources when managers hang on to their jobs after they have become inefficient or spend lavishly to defend themselves against takeover bids. Derivative suits, shareholder proposals, independent directors, and other prescriptions have failed to stifle managerial abuses. This is the message …
Two Models Of Corporate Governance: Beyond Berle And Means, Lynne L. Dallas
Two Models Of Corporate Governance: Beyond Berle And Means, Lynne L. Dallas
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article introduces a new model of corporate governance, which challenges, as did Berle and Means, the conclusions drawn from the traditional ownership model. Rather than focusing upon the inefficiencies of the large complex firm resulting from the separation of share ownership and control, however, this new model, which I call the power model, focuses upon the political nature of decision making in the large corporation, which exists regardless of the identity of the entrepreneur.

Corporate Auctions And Directors' Fiduciary Duties: A Third-Generation Business Judgment Rule, Steven G. Bradbury
Corporate Auctions And Directors' Fiduciary Duties: A Third-Generation Business Judgment Rule, Steven G. Bradbury
Michigan Law Review
This Note proposes a rationale and a methodology for applying the business judgment rule when directors resist a hostile bid during the auction phase of a control contest. Part I examines the changes that occur in the responsibilities of target directors when a corporate auction is initiated. This Part describes the Unocal business judgment rule test and discusses its usefulness in the auction phase of a takeover. While the test requires modification if it is to complement effectively the auction-phase duties announced in Revlon, this Part suggests that the business judgment rule continues to be relevant and important during …

Florida Takeover Law: Control-Share Acquisitions, Robert C. Rasmussen, Jeffrey M. Fuller
Florida Takeover Law: Control-Share Acquisitions, Robert C. Rasmussen, Jeffrey M. Fuller
Florida State University Law Review
Under Florida's new control-share acquisition law, a shareholder's right to vote will be determined in certain circumstances by a vote of the other shareholders. Merrs. [sic] Rasmussen and Fuller contend that the commerce clause precludes the law's interference with interstate commerce, that the law might be preempted by the Williams Act, and that the law's validity is questionable on other constitutional grounds. The authors also suggest answers to the may questions they raise regarding ambiguities in the law, and offer advice for both potential targets and stock acquirers on how to comply with the law.

The Promise Of State Takeover Statutes, Richard A. Booth
The Promise Of State Takeover Statutes, Richard A. Booth
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is, first, to describe the problems associated with two-tier tender offers and the closely related, and perhaps still more coercive, partial tender offer. Second, the article will address the natural question why such offers have not already been banned, suggesting a better view of what coercion means in the context of a tender offer. Third, the article will offer a management-oriented view of coercion, explaining the legitimate interests of managers (and other groups) in resisting takeovers, as well as how greenmail and poison pills, though subject to abuse, can be used quite properly to combat …
The Closely Held Corporation: Its Capital Structure And The Federal Tax Laws, William J. Rands
The Closely Held Corporation: Its Capital Structure And The Federal Tax Laws, William J. Rands
West Virginia Law Review
The labyrinthine provisions of the Internal Revenue Code make a decision on whether or not to incorporate a closely-held business astoundingly complex. To decide properly, one must understand the terms "C corporations," "S corporations," a partner's "distributive share," and a host of other cryptic concepts.' Even those initiated into the inner sanctums of Subchapters C2, K3 and S4 must advise their clients that their counsel.is based on the enterprise's projected revenues and expenses, estimates that may prove to be far off the mark. Moreover, changes in the Internal Revenue Code have been so constant that no one can feel confident …

A Perspective To Reconsider Partnership Law, Donald J. Weidner
A Perspective To Reconsider Partnership Law, Donald J. Weidner
Scholarly Publications
The Uniform Partnership Act, unchanged in over seventy years, is being considered for revision by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. As Reporter to the Drafting Committee, Professor Weidner recommends that the revision process begin with a reconsideration of the fundamentals of partnership law. The drafters of the present act struggled to reconcile the conflicts between the entity and aggregate theories of partnership, conflicts which still permeate partnership law. While theoretical consistency may be desirable, a pragmatic approach to revision requires a structuring of partnership law that will serve the needs of both large and small partnerships. …
