Delaware vs. Texas: Navigating Strategic Domicile Decisions for In-House Counsel
Event Description
As corporate laws continue to evolve, strategic decisions about where to incorporate—or reincorporate—have taken on new significance. With recent legislative developments in both Delaware and Texas, in-house counsel must be equipped to evaluate the legal, operational, and strategic implications of corporate domicile decisions.
Join us on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 12pm ET / 9am PT as Chris Converse and Chris Babcock, of Foley, explore the latest changes in Delaware and Texas corporate law. Drawing from their direct involvement in shaping Texas’s recent legislative updates, they’ll provide an inside look at what’s changing, what’s coming, and how to assess whether a move from Delaware to Texas—or vice versa—makes sense for your company.
Discussion Topics Include:
- Key differences between Delaware and Texas corporate law in 2025
- Practical considerations for evaluating reincorporation from Delaware to Texas
- Emerging legislative proposals and their potential impact on corporate governance
- Risk mitigation strategies for executing a smooth transition
- How domicile decisions can support long-term corporate strategy
Who Should Attend
This program is designed for in-house counsel advising on corporate governance, M&A, legal entity management, or strategic planning. Legal leaders seeking to align incorporation decisions with evolving legal landscapes and business objectives will find this session especially valuable.
