Exxonmobil’S Texas Redomiciliation: Implications For Shareholder Rights And Corporate Governance, Esther Bouquet, Allen Mendenhall 2026 Heritage Foundation

Exxonmobil’S Texas Redomiciliation: Implications For Shareholder Rights And Corporate Governance, Esther Bouquet, Allen Mendenhall

University of Miami Business Law Review

On March 10, 2026, ExxonMobil announced its redomiciliation from New Jersey to Texas, making it one of the most prominent corporations to join a broader wave of corporate relocations to the Lone Star State. Unlike many relocations driven principally by tax or operational concerns, Exxon’s move directly implicates foundational questions of corporate law: the company reincorporated against the backdrop of high-profile disputes over shareholder activism and ESG-related proposals, and it represented in its proxy materials that it did not plan to follow provisions of Texas law that could minimize shareholder rights—a representation confined, as this article discusses, to the redomiciliation …

Controlling Shareholder Primacy, Naveen Thomas 2026 Brooklyn Law School

Controlling Shareholder Primacy, Naveen Thomas

Fordham Law Review

In just eight months, Delaware’s legislature upended over fifty years of corporate law. Its courts had long upheld shareholder primacy, treating shareholders equally in proportion to their ownership. But after several controversial decisions reinforced this principle, sudden amendments to the corporate code shifted the law toward a distinct paradigm: controller primacy.

While motivated by legitimate concerns, the legislation went too far, threatening to fundamentally realign corporate power and purpose. Contrary to shareholder primacy, the new regime disproportionately prioritizes controlling shareholders above all others. It authorizes contracts that cede the board’s managerial authority to controllers, insulates their self-dealing from shareholder approval …


Should Corporate Law Go Private?, Dorothy S. Lund, Eric L. Talley 2026 Columbia Law School

Should Corporate Law Go Private?, Dorothy S. Lund, Eric L. Talley

Faculty Scholarship

Delaware’s dominance in corporate law is traditionally attributed to its flexibility, expert judiciary, extensive case law, specialized bar, responsive legislature, and insulation from interest-group lobbying — factors thought to produce a desirable product for firms. This Article challenges the continued viability of that formula, arguing that Delaware faces daunting challenges in maintaining an optimal corporate law regime. We nevertheless show that the state retains an underappreciated secret weapon — the ability of Delaware corporations to opt out of courts and adopt fully privatized law — that can bolster and even strengthen its competitiveness.

We make three contributions in this Article: …

Business Court Best Practices: Constructive Thoughts On The Challenging Work Of Effective Commercial And Corporate Law Adjudication, Leo E. Strine, Jr. 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Business Court Best Practices: Constructive Thoughts On The Challenging Work Of Effective Commercial And Corporate Law Adjudication, Leo E. Strine, Jr.

Texas A&M Law Review

A market-based economy governed by the rule of law constitutes part of our traditional freedom as Americans. And that economy’s fair and efficient functioning is important to the economic opportunities and security of all Americans. To aid in that important end, during the last two generations, many American states have attempted, by various means, to create judicial forums, often termed “business courts,” for the efficient and fair resolution of business disputes. Many of these business court initiatives have drawn inspiration from the success of the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court in resolving corporate and commercial disputes …

Life After Moelis: A Trulia Moment For Governance Claims?, Kyle A. Pinder 2026 Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP

Life After Moelis: A Trulia Moment For Governance Claims?, Kyle A. Pinder

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

At the height of the merger-tax litigation bubble, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued its In re Trulia Stockholder Litigation decision, which disincentivized meritless M&A disclosure claims. Similarly, for the past several years, Delaware corporations have faced a wave of facial validity challenges to charter, bylaw, and governance-agreement provisions. Most of these claims end the same way: The corporation amends the challenged provision and pays a mootness fee, often while maintaining that the provision was lawful all along. Two recent Delaware Supreme Court decisions may disrupt that sequence. Kellner v. AIM ImmunoTech Inc. confirmed that a facial validity challenge fails …
