BLB&G’s Delaware office and Corporate Governance department were profiled in an article in Law360 following the firm’s recognition as a 2024 Delaware “Regional Powerhouse.” The profile highlights BLB&G’s expanding corporate governance practice, notable victories in 2023-24, and the Delaware team's formula for success.
The article recognizes BLB&G’s corporate governance practice as "one of the most powerful players" in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Partner Jeroen van Kwawegen, head of BLB&G’s Corporate Governance department, credits the firm’s deep expertise and collaborative culture: “No one can match the depth of our bench or the strength of our practice...We really have an ownership culture. Everybody takes ownership over their jobs and their careers.”
Partner Greg Varallo, head of BLB&G’s Delaware office, reflects on the Delaware office's leadership and its recent successes, including the landmark Tesla case that resulted in the rescission of Elon Musk’s $55 billion compensation package. He describes the case as “extraordinary” and “an amazing story about equal justice under the law.”
The profile also highlights other major victories, including securing historic decisions in In re Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. Merger Litigation and In re MINDBODY, Inc. Stockholders Litigation. Summing up the office’s achievements, Greg comments:
Our Delaware office was built from the ground up to actually try cases, and our team has unmatched experience and expertise in that regard.
