Description

Prevailing in a lawsuit is no guarantee that a litigant will receive its hard-fought damages--clients never collect an estimated 80% of civil judgments. Judgment creditors in business litigation may need to engage in supplemental proceedings and discovery and face the challenge of attempting to pierce the corporate veil to turn a judgment into financial recovery.

Trial lawyers in business cases must be adept at using theories such as alter ego liability, piercing the corporate veil, and fraudulent conveyance to enable clients to obtain assets from shareholders, insiders, and related entities to maximize recovery. They must also take advantage of cutting-edge discovery techniques to locate and untangle corporate assets to satisfy judgments.

Listen as an experienced commercial trial lawyer discusses strategies for enforcing and satisfying civil judgments against corporations and other business entities. The speaker will discuss best practices for obtaining and preserving judgments, conducting post-litigation discovery to locate assets, piercing the corporate veil, and executing and satisfying judgments.

Outline

  1. Post-judgment discovery
  2. Executing a judgment
  3. Piercing the corporate veil/alter ego theory/successor liability
  4. Fraudulent transfer claims

Benefits

The panel will review these and other key issues:

  • What factors do courts look at in deciding whether to apply the alter ego theory and pierce the corporate veil?
  • What steps can judgment creditors take to minimize or uncover fraudulent conveyances?
  • What immediate actions should counsel for judgment creditors take upon entry of judgment?
