What should you do if your inactive company gets sued?
That is the topic FH&P Lawyers Clay Williams and Tanvir Gill discuss during this week’s Law Talk podcast.
The initial reaction for most entrepreneurs would be to ignore the lawsuit and just let a default judgment happen, but that is not necessarily the best move. Williams and Gill explain why.
They also remind listeners about the benefits of picking a voluntary dissolution date for their expiring business, which could also help in the case of a late lawsuit.
What happens when you are done with your company?
