- Judicial dissolution or other equitable relief when a business is no longer workable

- Injunctive relief to prevent dissipation of assets or improper transfers
- Damages for breach of contract, conversion, fraudulent inducement, or related claims
- Fraudulent transfer claims where assets are moved to avoid collection
Piercing the corporate veil
“Piercing the corporate veil” is a legal theory that—in limited, fact-specific circumstances—may allow personal liability when an entity is misused, corporate formalities are disregarded, and separateness is used to commit wrongdoing or avoid legitimate obligations. These cases are evidence-driven, and the right strategy often focuses on documentation, control, commingling issues, and the underlying transaction history.
What to do now
- Gather key documents: agreements, promissory notes, guarantees, emails/texts, wire confirmations, bank records, and financial statements.
- Identify collateral and transfers: real estate, equipment, receivables, and any recent asset movement.
- Avoid delay: in many disputes, waiting reduces recovery options as assets dissipate and leverage declines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written agreement to have a claim?
Written agreements are helpful, but not always required. The best approach depends on the facts, how funds were transferred, and what the parties agreed to. We often evaluate the paper trail, communications, and performance to identify viable claims.
How quickly should I act?
As early as possible—especially if you suspect the other side is insolvent, transferring assets, or refusing to provide records. Quick action can preserve evidence and increase recovery options.
Can you help if collectability is a concern?
Yes. Part of the case evaluation is identifying sources of recovery—collateral, insurance (where applicable), responsible parties, and potential equitable remedies such as receivership or fraudulent transfer claims.
