Is There A Perfect Environment For A Villain And Villainess To Thrive?, Kim Weinert
Is There A Perfect Environment For A Villain And Villainess To Thrive?, Kim Weinert
Kim Weinert
Any form of a non-profit organisation possesses universal characteristics that differentiate them from being a household, a corporate or a government agency. The fundamental characteristic of non-profit organisations, which delineates them from other types of organisations, is the undercurrent of trust and altruism from the individuals in control, who achieve the organisation's charitable aims and for those individuals not to gain any personal benefits along the way. In many instances, however, the notion of charity takes a back seat to obtaining a personal benefit. The practice of opportunistic management and abusing a position of trust by individual/s within a non-profit …
The Progressive Possibility Of Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield
The Progressive Possibility Of Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield
Kent Greenfield
In this article, I wish to argue that we find ourselves, at least in the United States and perhaps world-wide, in an unusual and special moment in the intellectual history of corporate law. I believe there is more openness to re-thinking corporate law than any time in a generation. And I do not only mean the parts of corporate law governing executive compensation or the due diligence required when facing a merger proposal. I also mean an openness to discuss the questions of first principle: What are corporations for? Who owns them? What are their obligations to society in general? …

Kent Greenfield
There is a third way between deference to management on the one hand and strict shareholder primacy on the other: rigorous managerial obligations that extend to all the firm's stakeholders.

The Board As Regulator, Kent Greenfield
The Board As Regulator, Kent Greenfield
Kent Greenfield
The best (and a new) way to conceptualize the role of the corporate board is as a regulator, charged with taking into account the interests of various stakeholders and broadly serving the public interest.
Janus Capital Group, Inc. V. First Derivative Traders: The Culmination Of The Supreme Court’S Evolution From Liberal To Reactionary In Rule 10b-5 Actions, Charles W. Murdock
Janus Capital Group, Inc. V. First Derivative Traders: The Culmination Of The Supreme Court’S Evolution From Liberal To Reactionary In Rule 10b-5 Actions, Charles W. Murdock
Charles W. Murdock
“Political” decisions such as Citizens United and National Federation of Independent Business (“Obamacare”) reflect the reactionary bent of several Supreme Court justices. But this reactionary trend is discernible in other areas as well. With regard to Rule 10b-5, the Court has handed down a series of decisions that could be grouped into four trilogies. The article examines the trend over the past 40 years which has become increasingly conservative and finally reactionary.
The first trilogy was a liberal one, arguably overextending the scope of Rule 10b-5. This was followed by a conservative trilogy which put a brake on such extension, …

Auction Theory And Standstills: Dealing With Friends And Foes In A Sale Of Corporate Control, Christina M. Sautter
Auction Theory And Standstills: Dealing With Friends And Foes In A Sale Of Corporate Control, Christina M. Sautter
Christina M. Sautter
A fundamental issue in Delaware mergers & acquisitions (M&A) law is the extent to which a target company’s board of directors may restrict a sales process to extract value from bidders and grant a “winning bidder” certain deal protections to protect a transaction from being overbid. Standstill agreements are one such form of deal protection. Standstills prevent bidders from making or announcing a bid for the target without the target’s consent both during the sales process and for a period after the sales process is completed and the target has executed an agreement with a “winning bidder.” Recent 2011 and …
