My experienced IP law colleagues at IP Law for Startups (Jill Bowman and David Bowman) give a nice presentation on the compelling reasons to incorporate in Delaware.

Although we never like to think of litigation ever for a startup, the article’s point is well taken on the preference of all litigators (epsecially ones with a meritorious case) to be in a Delaware court. I actually give a discount on my fees for the joy in zipping down to Delaware on Amtrak.

Tip of the hat to the NYC law firm of Wahab & Medenica LLC (a New York business law firm) for compiling this list. Their discussion of these documents is in two parts, HERE and HERE.
