Delaware: From Hub to Hotbed: Emergence as Life Sciences Player Augments Traditional Role as Incorporation Capital

MCC interviewed Michael P. Kelly, Wilmington, DE-based chairman of McCarter & English, LLP, on the growing IP law innovation and life sciences appeal of Delaware.

MCC: Delaware has long been regarded as the epicenter of corporate law developments, but not as much relative to life sciences and intellectual property. Is that changing and, if so, why?

Kelly: It’s not up there yet with Boston or San Francisco, but it’s growing sharply and steadily, and with good reason.
