Is Your Case Sharp Enough to Pierce the Corporate Veil?

Corporations are recognized as legal entities and separate from their shareholders, officers and directors. Does that mean that a corporate owner can never be held liable for the company’s wrongdoing?  Of course not!  “Piercing the corporate veil,” refers to the exception to this principle, where courts disregard this separateness and hold an owner responsible for the corporation’s actions as if it were their own.

On this week’s podcast, join Rebecca and Steve as they explore the circumstances in which you can ask the court to ignore the corporate entity, and reach the assets of the owners.  The standards are very high, but if there is enough proof, and your facts are egregious, you may be able to get through a corporate fraud and recovery from the owners’ assets.
