Delaware contract law frequently governs the formation, interpretation, and enforcement of high-stakes corporate and commercial agreements throughout the United States; it also underpins the nation’s predominant corporation and business entities laws.
Because Delaware is the corporate home to so many American businesses, including many companies whose headquarters are in other states, Delaware contract law is important to sophisticated firms throughout the country.
