Corporate-governance scholar, lawyer and author known for his work on Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett; founded and runs the Quality Shareholders Group.

The Essays of Warren Buffett reorganises decades of Berkshire shareholder letters by subject - governance, accounting, mergers, valuation - turning scattered annual commentary into a usable manual. The later books extend the analysis to Berkshire's decentralised structure and to the traits that make a business durable enough to hold for decades.
