Product Description

LLCs and corporations are two very common forms of entity—with LLCs often being the go-to choice to limit liability. But increasingly there are times when courts actively determine to disregard the corporate shield. Hear the expert panelists explain how to set up and operate an LLC and corporation to minimize the likelihood of exposure. They also take you step-by-step through the factors and considerations at play when attempting to pierce the veil in litigation. A review of recent cases in a variety of contexts provides litmus tests and helps illustrate the scenarios where penetration of the corporate form was achieved.

As Benjamin Franklin once aptly said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Join us online to become or remain fluent in the protective and piercing strategies your clients depend upon you to know.
