As Texas continues to attract high-growth companies and institutional capital, in-house counsel are increasingly asked to evaluate whether Texas or Delaware offers the stronger strategic footing for governance, fundraising, and exit planning. Entity choice shapes valuation dynamics, litigation risk, board decision-making, and deal certainty—yet these decisions now play out against rapidly shifting M&A and capital markets conditions.
This Austin-focused CLE demystifies the real-world tradeoffs legal leaders must weigh as they guide founders, executives, and investors through today’s environment.

Join us in person on Thursday, January 29, as Thomas Zentner, Milam Newby, Katherine Frank, Michael Gibson, Ben Heriaud, Ross Cooper and Eli Gordon unpack the governance, fiduciary, and dispute-resolution differences between Texas and Delaware entities—then connect those legal distinctions to current dealmaking trends. They will walk through how forum selection can influence transaction speed, negotiating leverage, cost, and exit optionality, and how today’s shifts in buyer behavior, financing availability, and secondary liquidity directly impact entity strategy. Attendees will leave with a decision framework tailored to the pressures in-house teams face when advising on corporate structure in a volatile market.
