As the Delaware judiciary emerges from COVID, certain things are more likely to stay than others. We expect that trials will return to largely in-person affairs but remote depositions and hearings will remain commonplace. We also expect that delays and trial dates will begin to work their way out of the system as the process becomes more efficient, and trial activity picks back up. We will cover what to expect when appearing before the Court of Chancery, what types of cases historically come before it, and the likelihood that COVID will change its operations.

After working for Sullivan & Cromwell and the leading boutique firm of Pachulski, Stang Ziehl & Jones, he opened Billion Law more than a decade ago. There, he has handled complex matters including one of the first cases under Delaware’s computer crimes statute, the defense of a Chinese national accused of insider trading by the SEC, and a plaintiff's-side a multi-million dollar, multi-dimensional insurance coverage dispute. He handles cases on his own, as well as alongside the nation's top firms including Jenner & Block, Gilbert LLP, and Kasowitz Benson Torres.
