Warren Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. We discuss a range of timely and thought-provoking topics, beginning with his perspective on the evolving discourse around corporate law. We explore the “DExit” phenomenon and the implications of Delaware's SB21. We also discuss and compare the rise of Texas and Nevada as business-friendly incorporation alternatives. We then turn to broader questions about governance in a shifting regulatory and political environment, including the rise of government intervention, the role of PBCs in AI, and a reconsideration of ESG and stakeholder governance in the current climate.\n\n"}
