The Delaware Court of Chancery holds a unique position as the nation’s preeminent forum for resolving business disputes. A non-jury trial court, the Court of Chancery specializes in equity cases related to the internal affairs of thousands of Delaware corporations and other business entities. Judicial officers in this court are experts in corporate law, ensuring informed decisions based on legal principles and precedent.
Over one million business entities, including most Fortune 500 companies, choose to incorporate in Delaware.1
