Corporate law topic of two events hosted by Tulane Law

Tulane’s 33 Annual Corporate Law Institute – one of the biggest M&A events in the country -- is scheduled March 11-12 in a virtual format. 

The two-day event will feature a series of panels tackling the significant issues in corporate law and mergers and acquisitions. Among the leading speakers will be Ted Yu, the Chief of the Office of Mergers and Acquisitions in the Division of Corporation Finance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, the Hon. Collins J. Seitz, Jr.

The CLI, in normal times, draws more than 800 leading judges, lawyers, bankers, regulators, and other M&A specialists annually to New Orleans to discuss emerging trends in deal making.  The New York Times has called it “the equivalent of Davos for the rainmaker set.”
