    What to Expect if Your Company is Being Sued For Corporate Fraud

    Corporations provide a lot of protections to their owners and officers. Generally speaking, a corporation is considered a legal entity, separate from the people who own and run it. This means that if the corporation is in debt or goes bankrupt, then the assets of those who own and run it can’t be seized to pay that debt. That’s the kind of shield a corporation provides.

    What it does not provide a shield against, however, is fraud.

    What is Fraud?

    Fraud, in this case, refers to a deliberate misinterpretation and presentation of facts, which is then used to try and goad someone else into action. Saying that a product will cure cancer when, it in fact doesn’t, in order to get someone to buy it, is an example of fraud. Others might be misconstruing numbers to persuade investors to buy stock or lying to officers about profits and losses. All of this is considered corporate fraud.
