Walker Newell and Lenin Lopez are SVPs at Woodruff Sawyer, a national insurance brokerage and consulting firm specializing in management liability and corporate governance. We begin with an overview of Woodruff Sawyer and the importance of D&O insurance, then 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. We 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.
