Overview

Angela Lam represents public and private companies, directors, officers, executives, and special committees in high-stakes business disputes and regulatory challenges. Her practice is rooted in corporate litigation before the Delaware Court of Chancery, which is the preeminent forum for business disputes. This Delaware foundation serves as the springboard for her work across multiple jurisdictions, allowing her to navigate complex legal issues ranging from M&A disputes to government investigations and emerging regulatory matters.

Delaware Corporate & Complex Commercial Litigation

Angela’s work focuses on the critical disputes that define corporate life: breach of fiduciary duty, governance disputes, corporate control, stockholder derivative suits, advancement, indemnification, books and records demands, and M&A-related litigation. Beyond equity matters, she represents clients across all Delaware state and federal courts in cases involving contract interpretation, earnout calculations, and appellate issues. Angela also provides proactive guidance to board committees, directors and officers, helping them evaluate risk and set strategy during active transactions or in the face of threatened litigation.

Cross-Jurisdictional Advocacy

While deeply tied to Delaware, Angela’s practice has a broad geographical and substantive reach. She applies her rigorous approach to corporate law to represent clients in commercial litigation, labor and employment issues, and white-collar matters nationwide.

Trial & Matter Management

Angela is a practical litigator who manages the full life cycle of a case. She has significant experience leading teams through large-scale discovery, drafting pleadings and dispositive motions, and preparing for trial. From taking depositions and conducting trial examinations, Angela remains focused on clear communication with co-counsel and clients to ensure every procedural step aligns with the client’s broader business objectives.

Prior Experience

Angela previously served as a judicial intern for the US District Court for the District of Maryland. In law school, she was a member of the National Trial Team and Moot Court Board.
