Jeff Wolters  authored “Running a Proper Interdependent Committee Process: Practice Tips from Recent Delaware Cases” appearing in the Delaware Insider section of the March 2012 issue of the ABA’s Business Law Today.

The article reviews the legal uncertainties in the Delaware law governing committees as revealed by recent cases, particularly in connection with the scope of authority that must be given to a committee and the legal standards that a reviewing court will apply in assessing a committee process.  Certain recurring fact patterns that have undermined committee processes are highlighted with suggested ways that counsel can deal with them.
