Richard Paul Richman Professor of Law and Co-Director, Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership

The Mission of the Millstein Center is to positively shape and influence how corporations are governed. Through research and engagement with business leaders, corporate boards, investors, the legal community, and academics, the Center convenes leaders to create meaningful dialogue, while balancing conflicting points of view, to strengthen corporate governance, sustainability, and performance.

The Center achieves this mission through a two-pronged approach. First, through engagement with corporate leaders on the most pressing issues facing corporations today, the Center creates the networks, best practices and tools necessary for those leaders to successfully navigate these challenges. Second, the Center addresses critical research questions, bridging the gap between academics and practitioners and bringing academic rigor to the business and policy solutions required to tackle the challenges corporations face today.

Programs: Engagement with Corporate Leaders

The Millstein Center holds programs aimed at key decision makers within the corporation who can utilize their business judgment to address the challenges companies face through active engagement in strategy, capital allocation, and culture shift for the long term. Currently, the Center's programs consist of the Conference on M&A and Corporate Governance, the General Counsel Forum, and the Student Corporate Equity Discussion Series, among others.
