Advisers, investors, and corporate leaders now consider the differences between different jurisdictions. To provide these audiences with a more complete picture of Nevada law, we prepared a Response to Professor Barzuza’s recently revised and recirculated work, “Nevada v. Delaware” (the “Draft”).
I am enormously grateful to Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco V. Aguilar, Nevada Treasurer Zachary Conine, and Nevada Assemblyman Joe Dalia for also joining this Response alongside another twenty Nevada lawyers and faculty members at the William S. Boyd School of Law. The persons joining do not speak for their firms or employers or necessarily agree that every case cited or settlement reached came out the right way. I also note that I alone have prepared this blog post and it is not “joined” by the persons that joined the Response. But we all agree that Professor Barzuza’s Draft does not accurately present Nevada corporate law. We rise in defense of Nevada because the piece has been broadly circulated over a period of years and promoted on the Harvard Law School Corporate Governance Forum, the Columbia Blue Sky Blog, and on social media. We hope that this Response will also see substantial circulation
