Tod Northman Presents myLawCLE Program on Veil Piercing, Reverse Veil Piercing, and Asset Concealment
August 13, 2025
On August 13, Tod Northman was a panelist at a myLawCLE live video broadcast, “Veil Piercing, Reverse Veil Piercing, and Asset Concealment: Evaluating When an Entity’s Assets Are Subject to Member Liabilities and Legal Strategies for Proving or Defending Against Asset Hiding Claims.” The program brought together complementary perspectives on asset concealment and exposure. It explored how business owners, employees, or partners may misuse entities such as LLCs or corporations to conceal misappropriated assets—often hiding them within the business’s records or sheltering them personally. Attendees learned about common concealment techniques, critical forensic red flags, and the rising role of crypto as a destination for hidden assets. In parallel, the program delved into the controversial but increasingly accepted legal doctrine of reverse veil piercing, which allows creditors to reach into an entity’s assets to satisfy a business owner’s personal liabilities. The program examined when courts permit reverse veil piercing, how to recognize its risks, and how to protect businesses from inappropriate exposure to such claims.
