some creative accusations by the Chapter 7 Trustee, the client found itself the subject of an adversary proceeding filed for a preferential transfer action. The Trustee alleged that the assets of certain non-debtor corporations were alter egos for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">individual <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">debtor and, therefore, such assets were the property of the bankruptcy estate.\u00a0Based on this allegation, the Trustee turned attention to the Firm\u2019s client and was determined to avoid and claw back all funds that had been <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">properly paid <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to the Firm\u2019s client as part of its construction services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the client in the crosshairs, the Firm filed a Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit and was able to successfully prove that all possible legal theories that could allow the Trustee to recover the funds in question\u2014reverse piercing, the single business enterprise doctrine, and the alter ego doctrine\u2014were inapplicable. From a legal perspective, the Court found that an individual could not use the single business enterprise doctrine to create an alter ego.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court dismissed the case with leave to amend, however, the Trustee was warned that if the amendment was unsuccessful, the Trustee would be subject to Rule 11 sanctions.
