Self-study: The Legal Theory of Alter Ego

The corporate form of organization was historically created to provide legal separateness between the corporation and its owners, in order to afford the owners with certain protections from adverse events experienced by the corporation and cap the owners' liability at the amount of their investment in the corporation. However, those protections are not iron-clad. Applying the legal theory of Alter Ego, under certain circumstances the courts have allowed third party creditors to pierce the corporate veil and seek remuneration not only from the corporation but also its owners. This presentation discusses the theory of Alter Ego, the circumstances under which it has been successfully employed by creditors, and the implications to business owners, creditors and others.
