Closely held corporations have

the greatest risk of having their Corporate Veil Pierced

• They tend to treat their business like a sole proprietorship.

• They don’t document business decisions

• They co-mingle funds and assets

• They don’t know what documents they must maintain to stay in compliance…so they do nothing.

Piercing the Corporate Veil has become the most litigated issue in corporate law today. In every case the plaintiff’s intent is to acquire not only the company’s assets, but the owners personal assets as well.
