Hofstra Law Professor Sergio Alberto Gramitto Ricci presented at the January 2025 AALS Annual Meeting at the “Internet and Computer Law – Financial Regulation in Cyberspace” session. The presentation was based on a forthcoming paper co-authored with Professor Daniel J.H. Greenwood to be published in the Journal of Corporation Law.
The article, “Total Governance,” discusses the innovative corporate governance paradigm starting from the title, which is a tribute to legendary soccer player Johan Cruyff’s “total football” tactic. Under Cruyff’s “total football,” each player on a soccer team is responsible for playing every position on the pitch regardless of their prior assigned role or specialty.
Gramitto Ricci describes “Total Governance” as: “a crowd-oriented governance approach characterized by individuals inhabiting multiple identities engaging with public corporations from multiple angles: as investors, employees, online activists, members of communities, and—in case of consumer-facing companies—as consumers.”
Professor Gramitto Ricci specializes in corporate law, with an emphasis on corporate governance, corporate theory, and legal personhood. He has published in the United States and internationally. His scholarship appears or is forthcoming in book chapters, encyclopedia entries, and several law journals such as the Cornell Law Review, UC Law Journal, Boston University Law Review, the Journal of Corporation Law, and the Washington University Law Review.
In addition to teaching, Gramitto Ricci is president of the Center for Retail Investors & Corporate Inclusion, and was recently elected to the executive boards of the AALS Sections on Race and Private Law, and on Business Associations.
