  For a variety of reasons, the Delaware Court of Chancery is seeing an uptick in lawsuits by stockholders seeking access to corporate books and records under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) and its alternative entity counterparts.  Our panel will offer an overview of stockholder inspection rights and of the forces driving this increase.  It will also examine considerations an enterprise should weigh in responding to an inspection demand, what can be done to limit disruption to the business and litigation risk, and the utility of conditions the Court has placed on inspections.  Additionally, our panelists will discuss the continuing issues and recent trends related to stockholders seeking appraisal rights in M&A situations.
