On August 27, 2015, Vice Chancellor Laster authored a widely anticipated opinion providing valuable guidance on steering clear of a flawed process in a going-private transaction. David H. Murdock, the CEO and Chairman of Dole and a 40% shareholder, and C.

In December, for example, the defense contractor Northrop Grumman announced that it would immediately end its membership in the American Legislative […]

A few months ago I decided to look into the professional experience of non-executive directors at the major banks listed in Britain.
