Private and public developments in the finance and governance of large public corporations have produced a level of change and uncertainty that rivals the hostile takeover wave of the 1980s.  Some of this new environment is the result of capital market evolution that has gained force over time, as reflected in the growing role of private equity in the finance and governance of public companies and the successful insistence by controllers of major changes in Delaware corporate law.  Some of the new environment flows from an abrupt change in the socio-political environment, which has changed the operating and risk parameters of asset managers. The goal of the second annual Ira M. Millstein Memorial Conference is to bring together academics from law and business as well as legal practitioners to give us a clear idea of the present and to discuss the possible futures.
