Alter Ego / Self Dealing

Outcome: $12.8 Million Plaintiff Verdict

Description: The defendants attempted to use various corporate entities to manipulate their assets and avoid their liabilities. At stake in the case was whether or not the client could recover damages caused by the defendants from the “common enterprise” as opposed to the individual corporate entities that had incurred the debt. Had the “common enterprise” not been proven, the client could have been left empty handed without the ability to recover the judgment. The case was ultimately proven through a trail of documents and testimony. The defendants’ scheme failed and the end result was a verdict of $12.8 million for the client collectible against all of the target defendants.
