Beyond serving our clients directly, I take pride in Grant & Eisenhofer’s role in helping shape the evolution of Delaware corporate law. I view our practice as helping to safeguard a more egalitarian system that protects public and minority stockholders’ interests, and guards against potential abuse and self-dealing by corporate controllers and insiders.
Overview
Vivek Upadhya litigates corporate governance matters, including those involving fiduciary misconduct, self-dealing or abuse, and other corporate actions that harm or shortchange stockholders.
Vivek has played a role in several prominent Delaware Court of Chancery cases seeking to advance shareholder rights and contribute to the development of the modern fiduciary duty doctrine – including Tesla SolarCity against Tesla’s board of directors, alleging that Elon Musk abused his influence by causing Tesla to acquire a company in which he held a substantial personal stake, and the MSG Networks litigation (representing investors challenging the fairness of the companies’ merger).
