Ann Lipton: "The Twitter v. Musk Case is both a Vindication and a Condemnation of Corporate Law."

Welcome to the Boardroom Governance Podcast. I’m your host, Evan Epstein. In this episode, I talk with Ann Lipton, the Michael M. Fleishman Associate Professor in Business Law and Entrepreneurship, and Associate Dean for Faculty Research at Tulane University School of Law. An experienced securities and corporate litigator who has handled class actions involving some of the world’s largest companies, she joined the Tulane Law faculty in 2015 after two years as a visiting assistant professor at Duke University School of Law. As a scholar, Lipton explores corporate governance, the relationships between corporations and investors, and the role of corporations in society. In this podcast, we talk about take-aways from the Twitter v Musk case, the “trial of the century that wasn’t,” public benefit corporations and B-corps, the FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried legal proceedings, and litigation involving private venture-backed companies. We also address the latest findings in Delaware litigation involving SPACs, the McDonalds case involving duty of oversight for officers, and some of the latest issues involving ESG and anti-ESG trends.
