Converse described Coinbase’s relocation as “an opportunity staring every law firm in the face.” He noted, “This trend is going to continue of companies considering and some will make a reincorporation move.”

“We’re seeing a conversation about what governance regimes work for companies and for their investors,” Babcock shared. “Texas, I think, will do very well in that conversation. But it’s a larger discussion of what does it mean to pick your state of incorporation, what does it mean to have these various governance rules, and what makes sense? I’m happy to defend and make the case for Texas anytime.”

In , Babcock described how some companies are shifting from default choices to a real deliberation about governing law, with venue now a competitive consideration across states.

“What we have begun to see if a legal environment where choice of incorporation is a real issue and discussion,” he continued. “Companies need to be thoughtful about and understand the legal frameworks that work for their management, for their investors, and for their other constituencies.”
