Reviews

'Encyclopedic, authoritative, and up-to-date, this work immediately establishes itself as the gold standard resource for anyone interested in fiduciary law as applied to all forms of business relationships. Start here, and you might not have to look anywhere else.' Joseph A. Grundfest, The William A. Franke Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School and former Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission 'The collection illuminates the central role fiduciary duties play in the business context. It presents thoughtful and diverse perspectives on critical problems in governance, such as addressing short-termism, balancing the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders, and minimizing corporate scandals. The book should be read by lawyers, judges, regulators, and businesspeople alike.' Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, Delaware Court of Chancery
