We’re past the bulk of proxy announcements and waiting on votes to come in at this point. I expect we’ll continue to see some action this year, but I don’t expect the pace to be as rapid.

For context, I looked back at roughly around this time last year. At that point, I was only tracking movement to Nevada and had 17 announcements. By the end of the year, it was up to 28 announcements of some kind or another for Nevada. I had 8 for Texas. That came to roughly 36 overall for Texas and Nevada.

This list has not changed substantially from last week, but we’re at 29 announcements between Texas and Nevada for this year already. On this update, we only have a few more now since the last list about two weeks ago. It’s two more that I didn’t have on my list: Granite Ridge and DeFi Development Corp. This is the updated sheet for folks that want to see the full set.

The pace of announcements has slowed a bit since the last update. My list now has 36 entries, five more since the last update. We have also had some significant vote results come in.

Submissions are now open for the 2026-27 series of the online Law & Finance Workshop. Submissions are due by the end of the day on Friday, July 3, 2026.

The Law & Finance Workshop was launched in Spring 2025 to create a space for more frequent discussion of scholarly works-in-progress in the field of law and finance, and to foster community among scholars working in this area. The workshop meets online once per month during the fall and spring semesters and is open to all interested scholars. Each workshop features a paper presentation followed by comments from a discussant and Q&A with participants. 

We welcome submissions from scholars across all relevant disciplines that examine the role of law and regulation in finance broadly defined, including household finance, corporate finance, and public finance. Interested scholars should submit their abstracts using this form no later than EOD onFriday, July 3, 2026. Selected authors must be ready to make complete drafts of their papers available for distribution one week prior to the scheduled date of the workshop.  

We look forward to seeing you in the fall.

Institutional investors today have to think more about differences between jurisdictions to decide whether to vote in favor of proposals to move from one jurisdiction to another. The Council of Institutional Investors has been working to get up to speed on these issues and recently posted a chart and featured it on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance. I gave some comments on an early version of the chart and know that they’re working in good faith to help investors understand the differences. I’m also a big fan of their podcast, the Voice of Corporate Governance which often has thoughtful takes and engagement.

The chart notes that although they “exercised due care in preparing this report, it does not guarantee the accuracy of the information.” It also asks readers to report errors or suggest additional features for comparison by emailing them. These charts will always be works in progress, continually updated as jurisdictions change over time.

Now that I’ve seen the final version, I’ve got some notes on it. Some of this draws from notes I sent earlier in the process and some of it is what I think people need to know now after looking at…

Now that we’re in proxy season, here is an update about the current shifts with some updates as things have changed a bit from a few weeks ago. We have another six companies announcing moves or attempts to move as well as a few vote results. This is the current list.

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…
