Walsh has first-chaired many trials and has successfully argued before the Supreme Court of Delaware, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He regularly handles Court of Chancery proceedings, summary proceedings pursuant to general corporation law, and disputes involving alternative entities. He also frequently counsels officers, directors, and board committees in matters of Delaware corporate law.
