Podcast #178 | Walker Newell & Lenin Lopez (Woodruff & Sawyer): Navigating D&O Risk, Delaware Exit, and Boardroom Litigation

Episode #178 of the Boardroom Governance Podcast features Walker Newell and Lenin Lopez, SVPs at Woodruff Sawyer, a national insurance brokerage and consulting firm specializing in management liability and corporate governance.

They dive into key governance trends—such as the “Delaware Exit” or “DExit” phenomenon and the growing interest in alternative incorporation states like Texas and Nevada.

They also discuss Delaware’s SB21, the IPO and SPAC environment, and emerging developments in securities class action litigation—not only in public companies but increasingly across the private markets as well.
