The Tulane Corporate Law Institute Gets Underway Today
The annual Tulane Corporate Law Institute takes place today and tomorrow in New Orleans. The conference brings together the country's most prominent corporate law practitioners, judges, and bankers to discuss the important developments in the world of M&A and corporate law. The panelists this year include Delaware's own Chief Justice Steele, Vice Chancellor Strine, Vice Chancellor Lamb, and Vice Chancellor Parsons, as well as a number of Delaware lawyers. Among the discussions taking place today: how recent legal and market developments are affecting public M&A deals, including a discussion of MAC clauses, breach provisions, and specific performance remedies--topics that are now taking center stage with cases like United Rentals, which this blog previously discussed here.
