Financial Times’ Agenda

---

Partners Hillary Holmes and Brad Hubbard have co-authored “Why Companies Are Choosing Texas – and Why They’re Right” with Texas A&M Law School Dean Robert Ahdieh for Financial Times’ Agenda [PDF]. “Texas’ innovation has already spurred healthy competition among the states, and competition is good for businesses and the nation alike,” they write. “For the first time in generations, companies and shareholders have a real choice about where to incorporate — and which governance rules best support long term value creation.”

The reason that so many businesses are shifting to Texas? “Companies do not uproot themselves lightly, yet a growing number of public companies are doing exactly that by relocating or reincorporating in Texas. Their message is unmistakable: predictable courts, clear rules, and protection from litigation abuse now matter more than allegiance to legacy jurisdictions.”
