Iconic Delaware Cases: Rural/Metro

Wednesday, March 27, 2024
Emiliano Catan (Co-Director, Institute for Corporate Governance & Finance) moderated a panel that focused on the Rural/Metro litigation, tackling questions such as What makes Rural/Metro an iconic decision? What were the key doctrinal innovations in Rural/Metro? How has the case changed the way in which boards approach the engagement and oversight of sell-side financial advisors.
The panel included Hon. J. Travis Laster (Vice Chancellor, Delaware Court of Chancery), who rendered the Chancery Court decision; Joel Friedlander (Friedlander & Gorris), who represented the plaintiffs; Robert Knauss (Warburg Pincus), who, at the time the case was decided, was General Counsel of Warburg Pincus, the acquirer of Rural; and Alan Stone (Millbank LLP), who represented Defendant RBC Capital Markets, LLC.
