Special Committees: Process Makes Perfect

Stephen Fraidin, a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, and Stefanie M. Wool, an associate at the firm, write: For approximately 20 years following the Delaware Supreme Court's Weinberger v. UOP Inc. decision, special committee law remained substantially unchanged. In the last 10 years, however, as private equity has become more prominent in the mergers and acquisitions market and transactions involving significant conflicts such as take-privates, controlling shareholder and management buy-outs have increased, the Delaware courts have had the opportunity to develop a body of case law regarding special committee formation and process.
