Tulane Corporate Law Institute
The Tulane Corporate Law Institute is an annual two-day
M&A and corporate law conference that takes place in downtown New Orleans every spring. It attracts the most high-profile lawyers and bankers from around the United States, as well as judges, journalists, and others who follow the dealmaking world.[1] The event typically takes place on a Thursday and Friday in late March or early April, at a prominent Canal Street
hotel.
History
In the late 1980s,
Revlon v. MacAndrews
) and a group of New Orleans corporate practitioners were among those who undertook an aggressive goal: to establish a new annual platform for a gathering of the nation's
leading corporate jurists and practitioners.[2] More than 20 years later, the Tulane Corporate Law Institute remains a critical meeting place for national leaders in the fields of law and business.[3]
The second day of the 22nd annual meeting (on April 16, 2010), coincided with
The Roosevelt Hotel.[5] The news caused an immediate thirteen percent drop in Goldman's stock price, and a 1.3% decline in the market as a whole.[6]
