Stavros Gadinis on ‘Corporate Ordering’

In this episode, host Gwyneth Shaw talks with Berkeley Law Professor Stavros Gadinis, who’s also a faculty co-director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Business. His new book, Corporate Ordering: How Corporations Navigate Social Conflict, which has just been published by Cambridge University Press. Its focus is how companies are writing the rules for AI, platform safety, and carbon accounting long before legislators arrive.

Drawing on conversations with general counsel and governance teams at Microsoft, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Uber, Lyft and Salesforce, Corporate Ordering traces the machinery firms have built to make those rules, apply them, and monitor the results. It shows corporate law developing a new way of deciding the most contested questions of our time, often shaping the templates that regulators go on to adopt.

“Berkeley Law Voices Carry” is a podcast hosted by Gwyneth Shaw about how the school’s faculty, students, and staff are making an impact — in California, across the country, and around the world — through pathbreaking scholarship, hands-on legal training, and advocacy.
