Such cases of shareholders suing their boards have garnered more attention in recent years. Some say that’s indicative of a rise in mismanagement. But others who follow the country’s premiere corporate law court point to one man: a judge who is less inclined than his predecessors to dismiss the lawsuits out of hand.
On this episode of our weekly podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law’s Jennifer Kay speaks to that judge, Delaware Chancery Court Vice Chancellor Travis Laster. He explains why these types of suits can be good for society and who he thinks should be held responsible after a “corporate trauma.”
