Piercing the Corporate Veil: Pleading the New Standards and Reaching Sister Entities

Course Overview

The Judgment Is Only Half the Fight

2026-09-23 13:00:00

Veil-piercing law is moving faster than it has in a decade. The Supreme Court’s Dewberry decision, the Second Circuit’s 2025 ruling in Citibank v. Aralpa, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Mortimer enterprise liability framework have redrawn the rules. Each one changes how claims against affiliated entities must be built.

The stakes are immediate. Plead bare factors instead of supporting facts, and the complaint dies at dismissal. Sue only the named debtor, and Dewberry blocks affiliate profits. Chase an LLC without a charging-order strategy, and the exclusivity defense ends the claim. Standards diverge sharply across Texas, Tennessee, New York, North Carolina, and the federal courts.

Attendees leave with practitioner work product: a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction pleading framework, guidance on mapping corporate structures before filing, strategies for navigating charging-order exclusivity, and a post-judgment discovery approach built to support reverse piercing and enterprise liability claims.

Pleading and Proving Veil Piercing Under the 2025–2026 State Court Standards

This session examines the latest state court and Supreme Court developments governing how veil-piercing claims must be pleaded and proved in 2025 and 2026, with focused analysis of divergent statutory and common-law standards across Texas, Tennessee, New York, North Carolina, and the federal courts. Attorneys will learn how to distinguish entity-specific pathways, plead supporting facts rather than bare factors, and map corporate structures before filing. Participants will leave with a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction framework for drafting veil-piercing allegations that survive motions to dismiss under current standards.

Reverse Veil Piercing and Reaching Sister Entities in Judgment Enforcement

This session examines the doctrines of reverse veil piercing and horizontal (enterprise) liability as tools for reaching corporate affiliates and sister entities during post-judgment enforcement. Attorneys will work through the 2025 Second Circuit decision in Citibank v. Aralpa, the Supreme Court’s Dewberry ruling, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Mortimer enterprise liability framework to understand when and how these theories apply across key jurisdictions. Attendees will leave able to identify the correct theory for a given enforcement posture, navigate the charging-order exclusivity defense, and build a post-judgment discovery strategy to support reverse piercing claims.
