Piercing the Corporate Veil - Alter Ego Liability in California in 2025

This webinar will cover an array of issues faced by litigants and practitioners where alter ego or successor liability theories are advanced during litigation.  Among other things, the webinar will explore the contours of the alter ego and successor liability doctrines; proper pleading of these doctrines; discovery strategies for both plaintiffs and defendants; proof issues faced by both sides when these doctrines are at play; trial issues on who decides these equitable issues; post-judgment attorney’s fees claims and defenses; and post-judgment efforts to amend a judgment to include alter egos and successors as additional judgment debtors.
