Despite increased competition from other jurisdictions seeking to expand their corporate franchise and business courts, Delaware remains the pre-eminent jurisdiction for incorporation in the USA, with roughly two-thirds of the Fortune 500 and well over two million business entities continuing to call Delaware their corporate home.
In the past two years, Delaware has seen significant developments in its corporate law. These developments have bolstered the predictability and stability of Delaware corporate law without meaningfully eroding stockholder rights, solidifying Delaware as the jurisdiction of choice for corporations and stockholders alike.
