Faith Stevelman Blogs on the Race to the Bottom

We are pleased to have Faith Stevelman begin a series of six posts today on Berger v. Pubco, a Delaware Supreme Court decision defining the remedies for minority shareholders in a short form merger when they have not received the information needed to decide whether to exercise appraisal rights.  It is an important case and, unexpectedly, favorable for shareholders.

Faith has a B.A. and M.Phil. (PhD.ABD) from Yale and a J.D. from NYU Law School. After four years of transactional work at Fried Frank's Wall Street office she joined the faculty at New York Law School in '93. She's also visited at Cornell Law and Georgetown, where she was a Sloan scholar.

In addition to teaching Corporations, Securities, and M&A, she's developed a case study on W.R. Grace & Co., entitled: "Regulation, Compliance and Litigation: Corporate Law in Perspective." She founded her law school's corporate honors program, "The Center on Business Law & Policy" in 2006. This year she's published Regulatory Competition, Choice of Forum, and Delaware's Stake in Corporate Law in the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law and Globalization and Corporate Social Responsibility in the New York Law School Law Review.

Enjoy the posts!
