Clyde Tinnen Publishes on Prospects for Wisconsin Adoption of Delaware Legislative Changes for M&A

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Clyde Tinnen authored the article, “Changes to Delaware Law for Mergers and Acquisitions – Will Wisconsin Follow Suit?” published by the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Business Law Blog.

Tinnen discusses the key conclusions from Foley’s Corporate Governance Update blog on controversial market practice amendments earlier this year to Delaware general corporation law.

“To date, I am not aware of similar proposals to adopt similar provisions under Wisconsin law,” Tinnen writes. “However, absent contrary precedent in Wisconsin state courts or special facts and circumstances, it is likely that a Wisconsin state court will give some weight to the rationale behind the new statutes when interpreting similar matters under Wisconsin law.”
