1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ESTThis 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.
Jeffrey M. Eilender 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm ESTThis 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.
