Podcast #188 | Stephen Bainbridge (UCLA): The State of Corporate Law and Governance in the U.S.

Episode #188 of the Boardroom Governance Podcast features Stephen Bainbridge, the William D. Warren Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law.

In this episode, Steve and Evan explore the “DExit” phenomenon and the implications of Delaware's SB21. They also discuss and compare the rise of Texas and Nevada as business-friendly incorporation alternatives. They then turn to broader questions about governance in a shifting regulatory and political environment, including the rise of government intervention, the role of PBCs in AI, and a reconsideration of ESG and stakeholder governance in the current climate.
