Joe Grundfest, Stanford Law School:

While critics including Elon Musk have harped on about what they say are Delaware’s shortcomings, the state has moved to address some of those criticisms. Lawmakers have approved changes to Delaware’s corporations code, while the state’s bar association may soon recommend changes to awards for plaintiffs’ lawyers.

“Before recommending the radical surgery of leaving Delaware for another jurisdiction — where the law is not as developed and there are substantial uncertainties — I generally recommend that corporations wait to see how Delaware law evolves,” Grundfest told DealBook.
