OPINION
SIMANDLE, Chief Judge:I. INTRODUCTION
This lengthy multi-district securities litigation generally arises from the complex financial relationships between, and ultimate bankruptcy proceedings of, three entities (and the multitude of affiliates associated with each): PlusFunds Group, Inc. (hereinafter, “PlusFunds”), SPhinX Funds (hereinafter, “SPhinX”), and Refco, Inc. (hereinafter, “Refco”) — all entities no longer in operation in the aftermath of Refco’s dissolution. The parties presently seek a pretrial determination of whether the law of the Cayman Islands or of New Jersey/New York will apply to the fiduciary duty claims against a former director of SPhinX, namely, Robert Aaron.
As relevant here, in 2002, PlusFunds created SPhinX, a global hedge fund consisting of approximately seventy Cayman Islands funds, as an investment vehicle to track the Standard & Poor’s hedge fund index. One of the seventy SPhinX funds, SPhinX Managed Futurés Fund (hereinafter, “SMFF”), in turn, maintained brokerage accounts with the onshore and offshore affiliates of Refco, a then-existing financial services and brokerage firm. In connection with such accounts, PlusFunds agreed to sweep any of SMFF’s excess cash on deposit with Refco, LLC, the onshore affiliate in New York, to Refco Capital Markets, Ltd, the offshore affiliate in the Cayman Islands.
After the revelation that several of Ref-co’s officers and directors participated in a wide-scale, fraudulent underreporting of corporate liabilities, however, Refco filed for bankruptcy on October 17, 2005. At that time, Refco held $312 million of SMFF’s excess cash in unsegregated accounts, all of which the bankruptcy proceeding placed beyond the reach of Plus-Funds or SPhinX, and ultimately caused these entities to file their own bankruptcy proceedings.
In this action, Plaintiffs Kenneth M. Krys and Margot Macinnis, the Joint Official Liquidators of the SPhinX Trust, and The Harbour Trust Co. Ltd., the Trustee of the SPhinX Trust (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), allege in relevant part that one of the former directors of SPhinX, Defendant Robert Aaron (hereinafter, “Mr. Aaron”), facilitated the unauthorized movement of SMFF’s excess cash into unsegregated accounts with Refco and failed to take certain corrective steps in the face of Refco’s potential insolvency, in breach of his fiduciary duty to SPhinX.1
Defendants now move for a determination of the choice of law applicable to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claim against Mr. Aaron. [Docket Item 571.]
*476Defendants, for their part, take the position that Cayman Islands Law must, under the circumstances, apply to the fiduciary duty claim against Mr. Aaron and to “any claims or defenses implicating the conduct of the other SPhinX directors,” because an actual conflict exists between the concepts of fiduciary duties under Cayman and New Jersey/New York law, and because the organic documents that governed Mr. Aaron’s directorship, the SPhinX Memorandum and Articles of Association (hereinafter, the “Articles”) and by the SPhinX Group of Companies Director Services Agreement (hereinafter, the “Director Services Agreement” or the “Agreement”), uniformly call for the application of Cayman Islands Law. (Defs.’ Br. at 2-10; Defs.’ Reply at 2-10.)
Plaintiffs, however, argue that the law of the case doctrine, arising from earlier proceedings before the Multidistrict Litigation transferee judge in the Southern District of New York, requires the application of New York law and assert, in any event, that Defendants have failed to carry their burden of demonstrating an actual conflict between the relevant law of the Cayman Islands and that of either New Jersey or New York.2 (See Pls.’ Opp’n at 2-9.)
The principal issues before the Court are 'whether the law of the case doctrine compels the application of New York law to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claims against Mr. Aaron; whether an actual conflict exists between Cayman and New Jersey law;3 and whether New Jersey’s interest in the fiduciary duty claim suffices to overcome the presumptive application of Cayman law under the internal affairs doctrine.
For the reasons that follow, Defendants’ motion to apply Cayman Law to Plaintiffs’ breach of fiduciary duty claim against Mr. Aaron will be granted, and Plaintiffs’ cross-motion to apply Cayman law in the manner set forth by Plaintiffs’ expert will be denied without prejudice.4
II. BACKGROUND
A. Factual and Procedural Background
Because resolution of the pending motion relates inextricably to the procedural posture of this lengthy litigation, the Court will discuss the factual predicate and procedural circumstances of this litigation in unison. For the purposes of the pending motion, however, the Court need not retrace every facet of the parties’ convoluted history. Rather, the Court must only briefly introduce the relevant background of Mr. Aaron’s directorship, in addition to the relevant procedural circumstances giving rise to the pending motion and the arguments advanced by the parties.
1. SPhinX Articles of Incorporation, and Director Services Agreement under Cayman Islands Law
In 2002, Mr. Aaron agreed to serve on the Board of Directors of SPhinX and its *477subportfolios, including SMFF, all entities incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, subject to the terms of various documents. (See Exs. A, B, & C to Pendleton Dec.) The Director Services Agreement, in particular, provided the relevant “terms and conditions” under which Mr. Aaron, and his fellow directors, agreed to provide services to the various SPhinX entities. (See, e.g., Ex. C at 2.) The Agreement generally required the directors to exercise their “best endeavours” to ensure that them actions complied with the SPhinX Articles, and provided that SPhinX would indemnify the directors “against any or all liabilities (other than any -loss or expense resulting from the wil[l]ful neglect, wil[l]ful default, fraud or dishonesty of any of the Directors) by reason of’ any contract, act, or thing done by any director on behalf of the SPhinX entities. (Id. at ¶¶ 4-5, 11.) The Agreement further made clear, on its face, that it would, “in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.”5 (Id. at ¶ 29.)
The Articles, the organic documents that established the SPhinX entities, and that the Agreement expressly incorporated by reference, then consistently defined the law applicable to these entities’ existence- and operations as “the Companies Law (2004 Revision) of the Cayman Islands as amended and every statutory re-enactment thereof for the time being in force.” (Exs. A & B to Pendleton Dec.) These organic documents further delineated, in greater detail, the authority conferred upon the SPhinX directors, like Mr. Aaron, to oversee the SPhinX funds, and defined, at least in part, the scope of their fiduciary obligations. (See id.)
Mr. Aaron served in the capacity of director, subject to the Articles and the Director Services Agreement, until 2006, at which time SPhinX filed voluntary liquidation proceedings under the insolvency laws of the Cayman Islands on behalf of itself and twenty-two of its affiliates, including SMFF.
2. Plaintiffs, the JOLs and the SPhinX Trustee, Commence Litigation against Defendants
Following the dissolution of SPhinX, Plaintiffs filed their initial and Amended state court Complaints in this litigation in early 2008, seeking more than $263 million in monetary damages from Defendants based upon the value of the “cash wrongfully deposited” at Refco, in addition to the “lost business enterprise value” purportedly associated with Defendants’ asserted malfeasance. (Id.)
In addition, Plaintiffs specifically asserted 10 causes of action against one or more of the Defendants, including claims for: (a) breach of the Director Services Agreement; (b) breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing imbedded in such Service Agreement; (c) contractual indemnification; (d) intentional breaches of Defendants’ alleged fiduciary duties of loyalty, duties of disclosure, and duties to safeguard SPhinX’s assets; (e) aiding and abetting the breach of fiduciary duty by certain defendants; (f) intentional interference with a contractual relationship as a result of Defendants’ improper placement of cash balances with Refco; (g) fraud/misrepresentation regarding Refco’s preservation and treatment of SPhinX’s assets; and (h) violations of the civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act under New Jersey law, N.J.S.A. 2C:41-1, -6.2. [See Docket Item 1 in Civil Action No. 08-1902 (JBS/AMD) ]
*478On April 17, 2008, Defendants removed the action to this Court. (Id.) Following removal, the Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation issued an order conditionally transferring the Action to the Southern District of New York (hereinafter, the “MDL District Court”) “for inclusion in MDL No. 1902,” in light of the fact that it arose from a “factual core” common to Refco’s insolvency proceeding. [See Docket Item 41 in Civil Action No. 08-1902 (JBS/AMD).] This action thereafter proceeded, among a multitude of others, before the MDL Court.
3. The MDL District Court’s Decision on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and the Parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment
In the MDL proceedings, Defendants moved, on November 25, 2008, to dismiss Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8, 9, and 12(b)(6). On July 19, 2010, the Special Master, Daniel J. Capra (hereinafter, the “Special Master”), issued a Report and Recommendation on Defendants’ motions, recommending that various claims be dismissed on plausibility and particularity grounds. [See Docket Item 145.] As relevant here, the Special Master addressed the choice of law applicable to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claims, and specifically considered the parties’ positions concerning whether New Jersey, New York, or Cayman law should govern the “breach of fiduciary duty analysis.” [Id. at 15-16.]
Nevertheless, because the parties had not identified any “actual conflict between New York and New Jersey law with respect to breach of fiduciary duty,” nor between “Cayman Islands and New York law” the Special Master concluded, at that preliminary stage, that the law of the MDL District Court forum, New York, should apply. [Id.] Following timely objections, the MDL District Court adopted the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation in its entirety on March 30, 2011. See In re Refco Inc. Sec. Litig., 826 F.Supp.2d 478, 488 (S.D.N.Y.2011). It appears that the Special Master did not mention the provisions of the Articles or the Director Services Agreement pertaining to the application of Cayman Islands law.
Then, on December 31, 2012, Defendants moved for partial summary judgment in their favor on nearly all of the substantive claims that survived their earlier motions to dismiss. The Special Master subsequently issued a Report and Recommendation on August 7, 2013, recommending, that the MDL District Court grant Defendants’ motion. [See Docket Item 473.] In considering the entry of summary judgment on Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claims, the Special Master noted Defendants’ position that “Cayman law controls the scope of a fiduciary duty owed by a director to a corporation,” but concluded that “at least with regard to the allegations of misconduct in this case, any difference between Cayman and New York law” might prove “irrelevant.” [Id. at 10 (emphasis in original).] Nevertheless, the Special Master declined to definitively reach the issue, finding that the lack of “factual support for their allegations of [Mr.] Aaron’s knowing misconduct” plagued the viability of their claims, not the potential application of Cayman law. [Id. at 10-11.]
On December 2, 2013, however, the MDL District Court rejected the Special Master’s Recommendation that- summary judgment be entered in Defendants’ favor on certain claims, choosing instead to deny Defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment in its entirety. In re Refco Inc. Sec. Litig., MDL No. 1902, 2013 WL 6334303 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 2, 2013). The MDL District Court did not,- however, comment on the law applicable to the fiduciary claims. Id.
*479On March 24, 2014, the MDL District Court thereafter transferred this action back to this Court for all further proceedings [Docket Item 505], and this litigation has, accordingly, proceeded before this Court, with a jury trial scheduled to begin on June 22, 2015.
III. STANDARD OF REVIEW
The Court has diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. In determining the applicable choice of law, a federal district court sitting in diversity, or on the pendency of a federal claim, applies “the conflicts of law principles of the forum state.” See Klaxon v. Stentor Elec. Mfg. Co., 313 U.S. 487, 497, 61 S.Ct. 1020, 85 L.Ed. 1477 (1941); see also Rohm & Haas Co. v. Adco Chem. Co., 689 F.2d 424, 429 (3d Cir.1982).
This Court therefore applies New Jersey’s two-part “most significant relationship” test described in the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws (the “Restatement”). Maniscalco v. Brother Int’l (USA) Corp., 709 F.3d 202, 206 (3d Cir.2013) (citing P.V. ex rel. T.V. v. Camp Jaycee, 197 N.J. 132, 962 A.2d 453, 460-61 (2008)).
In the first step, the Court must determine whether an “actual conflict” exists “by examining the substance of the potentially applicable laws” with an eye towards whether a “ ‘distinction’ ” exists between them.6 Id. at 460 (citing Lebegern v. Forman, 471 F.3d 424, 428-30 (3d Cir.2006) (quoting Grossman v. Club Med Sales, Inc., 273 N.J.Super. 42, 640 A.2d 1194, 1197 (N.J.Super.Ct.App.Div.1994))). However, in the absence of an actual conflict, or in the presence of only a “false conflict,” e.g., where the potentially applicable laws would produce the same result on the particular issue, the Court avoids the choice of law question entirely and applies New Jersey law. Lebegern, 471 F.3d at 428; see also Williams v. Stone, 109 F.3d 890, 893 (3d Cir.1997) (same).
In the event of an actual conflict, however, the Court proceeds to the second step and must determine which jurisdiction possesses the “most significant relationship” or “strongest connection” to the claim at issue. Camp Jaycee, 962 A.2d at 460, 467. Reduced to their essence, the principles for measuring the significance of each forum’s contacts to the litigation and parties under New Jersey choice-of-law principles consist of: (1) the interests of interstate comity, (2) the interests of the parties, (3) the interests underlying the field of tort law, (4) the interests of judicial administration, and (5) the competing interests of the states. Id. at 463.
IV. DISCUSSION
The determination of the choice of law applicable to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claim against Mr. Aaron turns, as stated above, upon three issues: whether the law of case doctrine compels the application of New York law to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary claims; whether a material distinction, or actual conflict, exists between New Jersey and Cayman Islands law; and whether New Jersey’s relationship with the disputed fiduciary claim, if any, suffices to overcome the presumptive application of Cayman law in accordance with the internal affairs doctrine.
The Court will address each issue in turn.
*480A. The MDL District Court’s Early Application of New York law in connection with Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Stage Does Not Constitute the Law of the Case
In opposing the application of Cayman Islands law to the fiduciary duty claim asserted against Mr. Aaron, Plaintiffs argue, at the outset, that the Special Master “resolv[ed] the choice of law issue” by applying New York law in connection with his Report and Recommendation on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and assert that his determination “became the law of the case” upon adoption by the MDL District Court. (Pls.’ Opp’n at 3.) The Court, however, finds Plaintiffs’ assertion without merit.
Critically, the law of the case doctrine “limits relitigation of an issue” after it has been actually “decided” in an earlier stage of the same litigation. In re Continental Airlines, Inc., 279 F.3d 226, 232 (3d Cir.2002); see also Arizona v. California, 460 U.S. 605, 618, 103 S.Ct. 1382, 75 L.Ed.2d 318 (1983) (“As most commonly defined, the [law of the case] doctrine posits that when a court decides upon a rule of law, that decision should continue to govern the same issues in subsequent stages in the same case.”). In that respect, the doctrine endeavors “ ‘to maintain consistency and avoid reconsideration of matters once decided during the course of a single continuing lawsuit.’ ” In re Pharmacy Benefit Mgrs. Antitrust Litig., 582 F.3d 432, 439 (3d Cir.2009) (quoting Casey v. Planned Parenthood of Se. Pa., 14 F.3d 848, 856 (3d Cir.1994)). As a result, a “disappointed litigant should not be given a second opportunity to litigate a matter that has been fully considered by a court of coordinate jurisdiction, absent unusual circumstances.” Hayman Cash Register Co. v. Sarokin, 669 F.2d 162, 169 (3d Cir.1982)
Here, however, neither the Special Master, nor the MDL District Court, actually and fully considered the choice of law issue in the manner required to arguably preclude a subsequent judicial determination. To the contrary, the Special Master determined — in a Report and Recommendation ultimately adopted by the MDL District Court — that New York law governed with respect to a breach of fiduciary duty claim, because Mr. Aaron had “not establish an actual conflict of law between Cayman Islands and New York law.” In re Refco Inc. Secs. Litig., 826 F.Supp.2d at 500-01. In so concluding, however, the MDL District Court did not have the benefit of the Director Services Agreement, the document that governed Mr. Aaron’s directorship, and specified the application of Cayman law. See id. (discussing only the Articles). Nor did the MDL District Court have before it the robust and nuanced conflict discussion and expert analysis received by this Court in connection with the pending motion.7 Rather, the MDL District Court considered only the fact that Cayman and New York law required identical elements for a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, but does not appear to have been advised of the Director Services Agreement, nor the conflict identified by the parties’ expert in the pending submissions. See id.
Moreover, the MDL District Court’s determination occurred prior to any discovery, and based solely upon the *481allegations of Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint. In that regard, Courts “have long recognized the distinction between pre-discovery motions, based on an undeveloped record, and post-discovery motions for summary judgment” for purposes of applying the law of the case doctrine. Pure Power Boot Camp, Inc. v. Warrior Fitness Boot Camp, LLC, 759 F.Supp.2d 417, 424 (S.D.N.Y.2010);8 Maraschiello v. City of Buffalo Police Dep’t, 709 F.3d 87, 97 (2d Cir.2013) (noting that the law of the case doctrine does not preclude “a district court from granting summary judgment based on evidence after denying a motion to dismiss based only on the plaintiffs allegations”), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 119, 187 L.Ed.2d 36 (2013); McKenzie v. BellSouth Telecomm., Inc., 219 F.3d 508, 513 (6th Cir.2000) (noting that a prior “holding on a motion to dismiss does not establish the law of the case for purposes of summary judgment, when the complaint has been supplemented by discovery”). Indeed, the law of the case doctrine specifically does not “prevent a court from granting summary judgment where a court previously denied a motion to dismiss using the more liberal standards governing Rule 12 motions.” S.C. v. Deptford Twp. Bd. of Educ., No. 01-5127, 2006 WL 1784591, at *14 (D.N.J. June 23, 2006) (citing Lodato v. Ortiz, 314 F.Supp.2d 379, 388 n. 5 (D.N.J.2004)); see also Clalit Health Serv. v. Israel Humanitarian Found., 385 F.Supp.2d 392, 398 n. 8 (S.D.N.Y.2005) (finding that a pre-discovery determination on a motion to dismiss did not qualify as the law of the case for purposes of a subsequent summary judgment motion).
That rule proves particularly analogous in this instance, because the factual inquiry necessary for a choice-of-law analysis often proves “ ‘inappropriate or impossible’ ” at the motion to dismiss stage ‘“when little or no discovery has taken place.’ ” Arlandson v. Hartz Mountain Corp., 792 F.Supp.2d 691, 700-01 (D.N.J.2011) (citation omitted) (collecting cases that have found a choice-of-law analysis premature on a motion to dismiss). Moreover, the Special Master’s subsequent Report and Recommendation on Defendants’ motion for summary judgment further confirms that the choice of law applicable to Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claims remained an undecided issue in the MDL proceedings. [See generally Docket Item 473.] Indeed, in connection with that subsequent Report and Recommendation, the Special Master considered the choice of law issue anew, but ultimately declined to definitively address the issue, given the Special Master’s view of the paucity of “factual support” for the allegations that Mr. Aaron engaged in “knowing misconduct.” [Id. at 11.]
For all of these reasons, the Court finds that the Special Master’s conclusion at the pleadings phase constitutes little more than a “preliminary” and “not case-dispositive” finding and, as a result, proves insufficient to set the law of the case requiring application of New York law to the fiduciary claims against Mr. Aaron. Pure Power Boot Camp, Inc., 759 F.Supp.2d at 424. *482Therefore, the Court turns to whether an actual conflict exists between Cayman Law and the relevant New Jersey law to be applied by this Court.
B. An Actual Conflict Exists between Cayman and New Jersey law
Despite the parties’ lengthy positions concerning whether any significant, material “ ‘distinction’ ” exists between the relevant Cayman Islands and New Jersey law, the parties and their experts agree that Cayman and New Jersey law are, in a number of significant respects, substantively similar.
Indeed, the parties agree that the elements of a claim of breach of fiduciary duty are similar under Cayman and New Jersey law. (Compare Pls.’ Opp’n at 6, with Defs.’ Reply at 5.) The parties further agree that the law of the Cayman Islands and that of New Jersey impose, in essence, identical duties upon directors to avoid self-dealing and conflicts of interests; to act with loyalty, fidelity, good faith and honesty; and to exercise reasonable care, skill, diligence, and independent judgment. (Compare Pls.’ Opp’n at 8, with Defs.’ Reply at 6.)
Indeed, in these respects,- Cayman law only differs from New Jersey law, to the extent New Jersey law defines all of these directorial obligations as “fiduciary duties;” while, Cayman Law severs these concepts, by narrowly defining the “ ‘core liability of the fiduciary’ ” as being “ ‘single minded loyalty’ ” and fidelity to the company. (Expert Report of Anthony Travers (hereinafter, “Travers Rep.”) at ¶ 12 (Defendants’ expert); see also Expert Report of Timothy Ridley (hereinafter, “Ridley Rep.”) at ¶ 45 (setting forth the substantively identical assertion of Plaintiffs’ expert).) In other words, Cayman law requires that a fiduciary “act in good faith,” “not make a profit out of his trust,” “not place himself in a position where his duty and interest may conflict,” and “not act for his own benefit or the benefit of a third person without the informed consent of his principal.” (Travers Rep. at ¶ 12; see also Ridley Rep. at ¶ 45.) Under Cayman Law, however, the concept of “fiduciary duty” does not, unlike New Jersey law, specifically imbed within its definition the duty to exercise reasonable care, skill, diligence, and independent judgment.
Nevertheless, Cayman law still imposes a duty of care upon directors, even if not definitionally encompassed by the concept of a “fiduciary duty,” and specifically requires, as under New Jersey law, that directors exercise reasonable care and skill in discharging their obligations towards the relevant corporation. (Travers Rep. at ¶¶ 12-13; see also Ridley Rep. at ¶ 43; compare Pis.’ Opp’n at 8 (noting that under Cayman Islands law, “directors owe their corporations not only fiduciary duties but also duties to exercise reasonable care, skill, diligent and independent judgment”), with Defs.’ Reply at 6 (describing the “distinction made between the duty of care and skill and fiduciary duty under Cayman law”).) The duties Cayman Islands’ directors owe their corporations are, regardless of terminology, therefore substantively the very same duties owed by New Jersey directors to their New Jersey corporations.
Given these similar elements, Plaintiffs insist that Defendants’ dispute boils “down to one of nomenclature,” and submit that Defendants “posit[ ] a ‘false conflict.’ ” (Pls.’ Opp’n at 9 (citation omitted).) Though the duties themselves may prove substantively identical, what constitutes a breach of these duties differs in material respects between Cayman and New Jersey law, a distinction Plaintiffs’ coiinsel (but not their expert) appear to ignore.
Critically, in evaluating whether a director breached any one of a di*483rector’s fiduciary duties under New Jersey law, namely, the duties of good faith, loyalty, and due care, courts apply the business judgment rule, a “ ‘powerful presumption’ ” that, in making any business decisions, “the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief” that the action taken furthered the best interests of the company. In re Merck & Co. Sec., Derivative & ERISA Litig., 493 F.3d 393, 402 (3d Cir.2007) (citations omitted). The business judgment rule therefore “shield[s] internal business decisions from second-guessing by the courts” and immunizes directors for liability “from actions brought by others” with an interest in the business entity, provided that the directors acted “in good faith” and their decisions were “based on reasonable business knowledge.” Green Party v. Hartz Mt. Indus., 164 N.J. 127, 752 A.2d 315, 326 (2000) (citations omitted). Stated differently, so long as the challenged corporate action rests within “the norm of responsible corporate behavior,” New Jersey law shields directors from individual liability for their actions. Seidman v. Clifton Sav. Bank, S.L.A., 205 N.J. 150, 14 A.3d 36, 53 (2011). Under New Jersey law, a director’s liability for breach of fiduciary duty therefore turns, at least in primary part, upon the objective reasonableness of the disputed action. See, e.g., George Leon Family Trust v. Coleman, No. 12-4401, 2014 WL 2889741, at *8 (D.N.J. June 25, 2014) (evaluating the reasonable of the directors’ decision, based upon “ ‘all relevant justifications for management’s determination, including the seriousness and weight of the plaintiffs allegations’ ”).
Under Cayman law, by contrast, directors “ ‘must exercise their discretion bona fide in what they — not a court may consider — is in the best interests of the company, and not for any collateral purpose.’ ” (Ridley Rep. at ¶ 41.) In other words, directors must act with the honest belief that the challenged action or omission rested in the best interests of the company. (See Ex. A to Pendleton Supplemental Dec. (noting that the relevant question under Cayman law concerns “whether the director honestly believed that his act or omission was in the interests of the company”).) The inquiry for a claim of breach of fiduciary duty under Cayman law is therefore a subjective one, requiring an evaluation of the director’s action based upon the director’s subjective belief, without regard to whether the corporate action appears reasonable on an objective basis.9 (See Ridley Dec. at ¶¶ 41-43; see also Travers Supplemental Dec. at ¶ 5 (“Cayman law considers the director’s subjective intent, regardless of whether it was. reasonable, in examining the director’s conduct to determine whether there was a breach of fiduciary duty.”).)
Cayman Islands’ courts then turn to objective reasonableness only in the event that no party produces “conclusive evidence of the director’s belief.”10 (Ridley Dec. at ¶ 44 (citation omitted).) This subjectivity, which the parties’ experts uniformly identify, could prove dispositive, be*484cause Mr. Aaron’s subjective belief and intent could, under Cayman law, preclude him from fiduciary liability, even if the disputed corporate actions might otherwise appear objectively unreasonable. Evidence of the director’s subjective good faith belief may be impeached by evidence that such a belief is not credible because it is so far beyond the realm of reasonable conduct that the director could not have believed his action was a proper exercise of judgment. New Jersey law, by contrast, leaves little to no room for inquiry into Mr. Aaron’s subjective belief, and hinges instead upon whether the challenged action appears objectively reasonable.
For these reasons, the Court finds that Cayman law regarding fiduciary liability of a director actually conflicts with New Jersey law. It presents a true conflict because the Defendants posit the application of Cayman law which is more protective of Defendants’ conduct, while Plaintiffs posit application of New Jersey law which is more favorable to Plaintiffs’ claim of a director’s liability. Therefore, the Court will proceed with the choice-of-law analysis, and will consider which forum bears the most significant interest in Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claims against Mr. Aaron
C. An Analysis of the Most Significant Interest Considerations does not Justify Departure from the Presumptive Application of Cayman Law
Prior to reaching the second step of New Jersey’s choice-of-law analysis, the
Court notes, at the outset, that the internal affairs doctrine presumptively governs the Court’s analysis.
The internal affairs doctrine serves as a “conflict of laws principle which recognizes that only one State should have the authority to regulate a corporation’s internal affairs — matters peculiar to the relationships among or between the corporation and its current officers, directors, and shareholders — because otherwise a corporation could be faced with conflicting demands.” Edgar v. MITE Corp., 457 U.S. 624, 645, 102 S.Ct. 2629, 73 L.Ed.2d 269 (1982). New Jersey courts adhere to this doctrine, and direct that “the law of the state of incorporation [governs] internal corporate affairs.” Fagin v. Gilmartin, 432 F.3d 276, 282 (3d Cir.2005) (citation omitted). As applied here, “anyone controlling” a Cayman Islands corporation would therefore be presumptively subject to Cayman Islands law “on fiduciary obligations to the corporation and other relevant stakeholders.” In re Teleglobe Commc’ns Corp., 493 F.3d 345, 386 (3d Cir.2007) (finding directors of a Delaware corporation “subject to Delaware law on fiduciary obligations” under the internal affairs doctrine).
Plaintiffs do not dispute that the SPhinX entities existed under Cayman Law. (See Pls.’ Opp’n at 11 (“The Articles of SPhinX Ltd. and SMFF indicate that those entities are Cayman Islands corporations.”).) Nor, as stated above, can Plaintiffs genuinely dispute that the Director Services Agree*485ment called for the application of Cayman law to a dispute regarding a director’s conduct. Therefore, because the disputed claifn concerns alleged acts of a former director in his capacity as a director of a Cayman corporation, the internal affairs doctrine presumptively requires the application of Cayman Law.
Nevertheless, because the internal affairs doctrine “ ‘is not without exception,’ ” the Court will proceed in its choice-of-law analysis to determine whether, despite this presumption, New Jersey has a more significant relationship to the disputed corporate actions. Swift v. Pandey, No. 13-650, 2014 WL 1745040, at *4 n. 10 (D.N.J. Apr. 30, 2014) (citation omitted) (generally noting that the internal affairs doctrine may be excused in “ ‘unusual cases’ ”), recons, denied, 2014 WL 3362370 (D.N.J. July 8, 2014).
As stated above, the second step of New Jersey’s choice-of-law analysis requires consideration of each forum’s contacts to the litigation and parties based upon the: (1) the interests of interstate comity, (2) the interests of the parties, (3) the interests underlying the field of tort law, (4) the interests of judicial administration, and (5) the competing interests of the states. Camp Jaycee, 962 A.2d at 463.
The Court, however, need not belabor this analysis, because Plaintiffs give these factors no attention, and none prove sufficiently weighty to justify departure from the presumptive application of Cayman law under the internal affairs doctrine.
With respect to the first and third factors, the interest of interstate comity and of the field of tort law, the Court must consider “ ‘whether application of a competing state’s law would frustrate the policies or the body of law of other interested states.’ ” Id. (citation omitted); see also Swift, 2014 WL 1745040, at *6 (generally noting that the first and third factor call for, in essence, the same inquiry). Here, Plaintiffs have not argued that the application of Cayman Islands law would frustrate the body of law or any policy of New Jersey. Moreover, given the substantive identity of the duties imposed upon corporate directors under Cayman and New Jersey law, their interests in ensuring that directors faithfully discharge their respective obligations would appear inherently harmonized.
With respect to the second and fourth factors, the interests of the parties and of judicial administration, the Court also need not linger, because the parties’ interests play “little or no part in a choice-of-law question in the field of torts.” Fu v. Fu, 160 N.J. 108, 733 A.2d 1133, 1141 (1999) (citation omitted). With respect to issues of “practicality and ease of application,” Camp Jaycee, 962 A.2d at 467, the Court must note that the application of Cayman Law presents certain practical difficulties of determining foreign law. Nevertheless, because this action concerns the conduct and behavior of various SPhinX directors, the Court and the parties will necessarily benefit from the application of a single standard. Moreover, any incidental burden remains too insignificant to overcome the application of Cayman Law under the internal affairs doctrine.
Finally, with respect to the fifth factor, the competing interests of the state, the Court must consider the policies “ ‘the legislature or court intended to protect by having that law apply to wholly domestic concerns, and then, [must consider] whether those concerns will be furthered by applying that law to the multistate situation.’ ” Pfizer, Inc. v. Emp’rs Ins. of Wausau, 154 N.J. 187, 712 A.2d 634, 639-40 (1998) (citation omitted). Though Mr. Aaron appears to reside in New Jersey, the conduct implicated by Plaintiffs’ fiduciary duty claim does not *486touch New Jersey.11 Rather, Plaintiffs’ allegations that Mr. Aaron breached his fiduciary duties to SPhinX relate, inextricably, to the internal affairs of the SPhinX entities, and indeed entirely concern the manner in which he discharged his duties as a director of SPhinX. Moreover, because a breach of fiduciary duty claim does not involve identifiable physical conduct or harm, “ ‘the corporation [generally] sustains an injury in the state of incorporation and wherever it has offices.’ ” Swift, 2014 WL 1745040, at *6 (citation omitted). Here, that place of incorporation is the Cayman Islands, and Plaintiffs have not set forth any specific facts demonstrating a significant connection between the substance of the fiduciary duty claim and New Jersey. Absent such a showing, the Court cannot find any competing interest of sufficient weight to justify departure from the presumption of the internal affairs doctrine.
For all of these reasons, the Court concludes that the law of the Cayman Islands, the place of the SPhinX entities incorporation, governs Plaintiffs’ breach of fiduciary duty claim against Mr. Aaron.
V. CONCLUSION
For all of these reasons, Defendants’ motion will be granted, and the Court will apply Cayman Law to Plaintiffs’ claim against Mr. Aaron for breach of fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs’ cross-motion will be denied without prejudice.12
An accompanying Order will be entered.
. Plaintiffs asserted similar claims against the other defendants in this action, Derivatives Portfolio Management, LLC, Derivatives Portfolio Management, Ltd., DPM-Mellon, LLC, and DPM-Mellon, LTD (collectively, "Defendants”).
. Nevertheless, to the extent the Court concludes that Cayman Law applies, Plaintiffs cross-move for the Court to adopt the recitation of Cayman Law set forth in the declaration and report of Plaintiffs’ expert, Timothy Ridley. (Id, at 11-12.)
. The parties put forth inconsistent positions concerning whether Cayman Law should be compared to New York or New Jersey law (see, e.g., Pls.' Opp’n at 1), referring to New York and New Jersey interchangeably, and citing cases under the law of both forums. Nevertheless, the parties both acknowledge that there are no substantive differences between the duties' of a director under New York and New Jersey law (see, e.g., Defs.’ Br. at 6 n. 4; ls.’ Opp’n at 1), and this Court must apply the law of the forum in which it sits, New Jersey.
.The Court conducted an oral argument, by telephone, on the pending motions on May 5, 2015.
. For that reason, the Court rejects Plaintiffs’ position that the Director Services Agreement contained no provision concerning the law governing "the conduct of directors of the corporation.” (Pls.’ Opp’n at 11.)
. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 44.1 further provides that, “[i]n determining foreign law, the court may consider any relevant material or source, including testimony, whether or not submitted by a party or admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence.” Here, both parties have submitted the voluminous reports and declarations of their respective experts, all of which the Court has considered in connection with the pending motions. Neither side sought to present further testimony of their experts at this time.
. Indeed, the parties' choice-of-law experts prepared their expert reports in June and August 2012, over one year after the MDL District Court’s March 2011 decision on Defendants’ motion to dismiss. For that reason, the Court rejects counsel for Plaintiffs’ position during the May 5, 2015 oral argument that the record relevant to the choice of law issue did not change following the MDL District Court’s decision.
. On the oral argument record on May 5, 2015, counsel for Plaintiffs argued that these decisions provide no exception, because the application of the law of the case doctrine turns upon a question of law. The Court, however, finds this position without merit, because even if the application of the law of the case doctrine presents a purely legal question, the choice of law analysis remains a highly factual inquiry. See In re Samsung DLP Television Class Action Litig., No. 07-2141, 2009 WL 3584352, at *3 (D.N.J. Oct. 27, 2009) (generally describing the factual inquiry often necessary in order to decide choice of law questions). Moreover, in considering the law of the case doctrine, the weight of authority cited below unambiguously draws a distinction between decisions upon an undeveloped factual record and those following discovery.
. Mr. Ridley provided the following statement concerning the Cayman Islands' version of New Jersey’s business judgment rule: "It would be wrong for the court to substitute its opinion for that of management, or indeed to question the correctness of the management’s decision, on such a question, if bona fide arrived.at.” (Ridley Dec. at ¶ 58 (citation omitted).)
. On the oral argument record on May 5, 2015, counsel for Plaintiffs acknowledged this distinction, but again reiterated their position that the distinction amounts to a false conflict, because the inquiry into Mr. Aaron’s conduct under Cayman law-would, in Plaintiffs’ opinion, ultimately require an analysis of objective reasonableness, the inquiry compelled at the outset under New Jersey law. Nevertheless, as stated above, Cayman law *484only considers objective reasonableness as a fallback in the absence of any conclusive evidence of the relevant director's subjective belief. (See Ridley Dec. at ¶ 44 (citation omitted).) At trial, the parties intend to introduce over 1000 exhibits and the testimony of a multitude of fact and expert witnesses on this and related issues. Despite Plaintiffs’ position, the Court cannot conclude that an objective inquiry would inevitably be required, because it remains conceivable that this voluminous evidence will provide a conclusive and credible demonstration of Mr. Aaron’s subjective belief (indeed, Defendants take the position that it will). Moreover, because Cayman law would, unlike New Jersey law, first assess this subjectivity, these laws actually conflict.
. On the oral argument record on May 5, 2015, counsel for Plaintiffs argued that Mr. Aaron's decisionmaking as a director most likely occurred in New Jersey. Nevertheless, counsel for Defendants clarified that none of the segregation decisions giving rise to the disputed fiduciary duty claim occurred in New Jersey, and counsel for Plaintiffs did not challenge that clarification.
. In its cross-motion, Plaintiffs request that the Court adopt the statement of Cayman Law as set forth in the declaration and expert report of Plaintiffs’ expert, Timothy Ridley. (Pls.’ Opp'n at 11-12.) Defendants, by contrast, urge the Court to adopt the statement of their expert, Anthony Travers, given the alleged "inaccuracies and misrepresentations of Cayman law in the Ridley materials.” (Defs.’ Reply at 10 n. 4.) However, on the oral argument record on May 5, 2015, the parties agreed that the precise determination of Cayman law could be deferred. Nevertheless, the Court notes that the experts substantively agree on numerous aspects of Cayman Law, particularly to the extent likely relevant for purposes of jury instructions. Moreover, given the Court’s resolution of the choice of law issue and exposition, supra, of the substantial similarities of the duties of the director under Cayman Islands and New Jersey law and the contours of the subjective belief standard for proving breach of those duties under Cayman law; the Court remains hopeful that the parties can resolve any dispute concerning the scope of Cayman law (as distinct from whether Mr. Aaron’s conduct actually violated Cayman law). Therefore, the Court will deny Plaintiffs’ cross-motion without' prejudice, and will direct the parties to meet and confer in order to produce a concise statement of applicable Cayman law for purposes of instructing the jury, and to narrow the scope of any dispute ultimately presented to the Court.
