Delaware Corporation Law Research

This is a guide to researching the law governing Delaware corporations and other business entities.

Delaware General Corporation Law

The Delaware General Corporation Law can be found in Title 8 of the Delaware Code. There are several places to find Delaware statutes including a free version on the state's website and several commercial vendors.

Bills and New Legislation

The Delaware General Assembly has a bill tracking service where you can search for bills back to 1998.

Search tip: Delaware bills are always titled "AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE ..." so if you want bills that make changes to Title 8 just do a keyword search for "title 8".

The state also has a Notification Service where you can register to receive legislative updates by email.

Lexis and Westlaw also have Delaware bills.

Other Business Entities

Statutes governing other business entities (partnerships, limited liability companies, etc.) are found in Title 6 of the Delaware Code.
