About

Paul Brown’s corporate law and governance litigation practice concentrates on high-stake cases on behalf of public and private entities, members of management and investors in cases arising under Delaware corporate law.   Many of these disputes are resolved in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the nation’s preeminent forum for the resolution of complex business disputes.   Paul’s Chancery litigation practice covers a broad range of matters, such as breach of fiduciary duty claims, corporate control issues, mergers and acquisitions, going-private transactions, corporate restructuring, proxy contests, preferred stock designations, stock repurchases, dissolutions, charter and bylaw amendments, stockholder appraisal actions and statutory proceedings under Delaware’s General Corporation Law. Paul also represents clients in complex commercial litigation in state and federal court, including bankruptcy court.   He handles a wide variety of cases involving contracts, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, business torts, trade secrets, financial instruments, debtor and creditor rights, director and officer liability, and other commercial matters important to our clients. Paul writes on the topic of Delaware corporate law and has served as a panelist at continuing legal education seminars involving matters of corporate law and governance.  He also has taught business law as an adjunct professor. Prior to joining Chipman Brown Cicero & Cole, LLP, Paul was Of Counsel in the Litigation Group of DLA Piper.
