United States corporate law regulates the governance, finance and power of corporations in US law. Every state and territory has its own basic corporate code, while federal law creates minimum standards for trade in company shares and governance rights, found mostly in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by laws like the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The US Constitution was interpreted by the US Supreme Court to allow corporations to incorporate in the state of their choice, regardless of where their headquarters are. Over the 20th century, most major corporations incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which offered lower corporate taxes, fewer shareholder rights

  • Das Gesellschaftsrecht der Vereinigten Staaten behandelt die in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika für Gesellschaften vorgesehenen Rechtsformen. Das föderalistische System der Vereinigten Staaten erlaubt es jedem Bundesstaat, durch seine Legislative ein eigenes Gesellschaftsrecht zu entwickeln. Dadurch unterscheiden sich die möglichen Gesellschaftsformen von Staat zu Staat erheblich. Eine Vereinheitlichung ist nur unter den kleineren Bundesstaaten zu finden, deren Gesetze dem Model Business Corporation Act entsprechen. (de)
