The program will explore the use
of contracts to define and modify the governance structure of business
entities, whether through corporate charters and bylaws, LLC operating
agreements, or other private equity agreements. From venture capital preferred
stock provisions, to shareholder involvement in approval procedures, to forum
selection and arbitration, is the contract king in establishing the corporate
governance contours of firms? In addition to paper presenters, the program will
feature prominent panelists including SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and
Professor Jill E. Fisch of the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
A virtual business meeting was held prior to the Annual Meeting.
