𝙏𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙨 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝘿𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 Texas is setting its sights on challenging Delaware's long-held preeminence in corporate litigation. The Lone Star State has introduced the Texas Business Court, designed to handle commercial cases exceeding $5 million. This move follows an influx of major companies relocating to Texas, attracted by favorable conditions such as low taxes and minimal regulation. The new court aims to establish a respected case law through expert judges and written opinions, aspiring to match Delaware's sophisticated and even-handed jurisprudence. However, concerns arise about the court's potential corporate bias and constitutionality amidst Texas' conservative stances on various corporate governance issues. The initiative reflects Texas' ambition to become a new hub for financial and legal services, directly challenging Delaware's status as the preferred legal venue for the Fortune 500. #BusinessLaw #CorporateGovernance #Texas #Delaware #CommercialLitigation https://lnkd.in/gjW7n3fC

How has Williams & Connolly held on to its image all these years as the firm to hire when you want to go scorched earth on the Justice Deparmment? In some cases it's more a brand than reality, but one takeaway from my months of reporting with Justin Wise is that the identity comes from holding onto unique traditions, even as the surrounding legal industry is rapidly evolving. Perhaps the most telling example: the firm almost never hires former federal prosecutors, bucking the DOJ revolving door that's pervasive in Big Law. “The firm sprang out of an earlier era,” said Paul Dueffert, a veteran partner at Williams & Connolly, who left in 2020. “What has changed since then is that the white-collar world is much more professionalized. Every other firm is constantly poaching DOJ lawyers.” Here's our story on how a white collar practice without former DOJ insiders plays out in tough criminal battles (including the notable exceptions), and whether the Williams & Connolly model is sustainable as the current partner most responsible for its hardball reputation is 82. https://lnkd.in/epVMdaNV

Did You Know? Attorneys' Fees Provisions Can Get Complicated Corporate folks: Ever thought about how your deal’s attorneys' fees recovery clause might play out in litigation? It’s not as straightforward as “who wins.” For example: Texas: Success on the "main issue" counts. California: Winning just "any significant issue" could be enough. New York: You must succeed on the "central relief sought"—and that’s often up for debate. When in doubt, bring in a litigator early to help you navigate these terms on the front-end. It could save you a big headache later! Thank you Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP and Jeralin Cardoso for the chance to discuss this and other litigation-oriented terms in corporate deals during today's Corporate Practice Group meeting. #CorporateDeals #Litigation #ContractTips #AttorneysFees
