Peter Mahler will be speaking at a CLE program sponsored by the NY State Bar Association’s Commercial and Federal Litigation Section on the Interplay of Delaware and New York Law in Resolving Corporate and Commercial Disputes (1.5 credits in Professional Practice) – New York’s importance as a center of commerce and finance, and Delaware’s dominance in the jurisdictional competition for business associations, have given the courts in those states an out-sized role in shaping the decisional law that governs the nation’s corporate and commercial life. The Commercial and Federal Litigation Section is pleased to present a panel discussion of experts about the influential role of Delaware law in the adjudication of business disputes in New York courts. Panelists including Peter will be: Hon. David Friedman, Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, Jeffery M. Eilender, Esq. and Kurt M. Heyman, Esq.
Topics to be examined include fiduciary duty in closely held entities and the ability to contract around them; advancement and indemnification of corporate officers and directors; the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; direct and derivative claims; freeze-out mergers; inspection of books and records; oral operating and partnership agreements; and the reliance factor in commercial fraud cases.
