1:00 pm - 1:20 pm ESTExamine how the Supreme Court’s 2025 Dewberry decision reframed corporate separateness, affiliate profits, and joinder. Track current doctrine and court trends, and learn what true-financial-gain evidence now controls when creditors reach through the entity.

Lee Weinberg
Jamison Gilmore 1:20 pm - 1:40 pm ESTApply the classic factors—alter ego, commingling, undercapitalization, and failed formalities—against shifting transparency obligations. Understand how beneficial-ownership filings surface in diligence and discovery, and why compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act never establishes separateness.
Shahrokh SheikLee WeinbergJamison Gilmore 1:40 pm - 2:00 pm ESTConfront the creditor remedy targeting single-member LLCs as the softest entry point. Weigh charging orders against reverse piercing, and analyze adequate-remedy tests, bad-faith control, and innocent-member equities that decide whether owners’ assets stay protected.
Shahrokh SheikLee WeinbergJamison Gilmore 2:10 pm - 2:30 pm ESTMap entity-by-entity treatment across complex structures where fiduciary-duty breaches and affiliate liability raise the stakes. Assess how Dewberry changed exposure for parent companies, subsidiaries, and co-owners, and where domination claims still pierce.
Shahrokh SheikLee WeinbergJamison Gilmore 2:30 pm - 2:50 pm ESTBuild separateness and joinder defenses, and distinguish fraud-based from domination theories before trial. Deploy expert witnesses, § 187 judgment-amendment arguments, issue preclusion, IPAC bankruptcy angles, and discovery-sanction strategy—then weigh settlement against the risk of an adverse alter-ego finding.
Shahrokh SheikLee WeinbergJamison Gilmore 2:50 pm - 3:10 pm ESTStructure operations and draft governing documents that withstand scrutiny. Allocate capitalization, insurance, and state-by-state beneficial-ownership compliance, and maintain intercompany pricing, related-party ledgers, capitalization memos, and distribution discipline using a separateness checklist that holds up in discovery.
