BYU Law Winter Deals Conference

Gathering Leading Researchers from Across North America

The BYU Law Winter Deals Conference brings leading scholars and practitioners to Park City, UT to discuss the modern global economy’s most pressing legal issues.  Twenty-first century markets’ unprecedented scale, complexity, and dynamism present a difficult challenge for legal institutions, which must provide stable rules that businesses can trust as they make investments while also rapidly adapting to new demands, disruptive technologies, and crises.  The Deals Conference explores policies for addressing that tension in a variety of domains, from Mergers & Acquisitions to Venture Capital to Corporate Governance to computational methods for transaction design.

2018 Keynote

We are delighted that Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III of the Delaware Court of Chancery will be our keynote speaker at the Conference.  The Court of Chancery is the leading court for corporate governance matters in the United States, and its judges regularly adjudicate disputes relating to M&A deals and other complex commercial transactions.  Vice Chancellor Glasscock has been serving on the Court of Chancery since 1999.

2018 Plenary Roundtable

The capstone of the event is a roundtable discussion of recent developments in Delaware corporate law with Vice Chancellor Glasscock and Justice Randy Holland, formerly of the Delaware Supreme Court and currently Senior Of Counsel at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.  Leading the discussion are Steve Guggenheim and Brad Sorrels of Wilson Sonsini’s Bay Area and Delaware offices, respectively.

Location

Conference panels will be held at the Grand Summit Lodge at Canyons Village, part of Vail’s Park City Mountain Resort, the largest ski area in North America.

Park City, Utah.
