Benefits:

Fluency in Piercing the Corporate Veil & Corporate Veil Ego has become increasingly important in recent years due to changes in the law and business cycle. As more clients need to collect on debts and judgments, it is increasingly critical for practitioners to be fluent with the cutting-edge techniques and best practices to pierce & protect the corporate veil, as well as determine alter ego liability.

The Rossdale faculty for this seminar features several authorities in this practice, who will describe piercing & protecting the corporate veil, navigating complex determinations on corporate liability, strategies involving legal alter ego, and limiting both corporate & personal liability.
