Feeling a little gloomy? I know I am! Unfortunately, May Gray was all too real, and June Gloom is staying true to its name. “Sunny” San Diego did not have one clear day in May, according to data from the National Weather Service, and it appears June will trend gloomy as well. So if you are feeling a little down, I encourage you to set an intention to do something that brings you joy.

An Expansion of the Duty of Oversight to Corporate Officers
By Bryce Calabria Calabria International Law, P.C.
Recently, the Delaware Court of Chancery has expanded the fiduciary duty of oversight to include corporate officers. This development arose from the Court of Chancery’s decision in In re McDonald’s Corp. Stockholder Derivative Litigation.
