Question: In Maryland, a limited liability S Corp shareholder can’t be sued individually but can they individually sue someone else on behalf of the corp? Or does an attorney for the Corp have to be the one to file suit? What abt in small claims court where lawyers aren’t even required?

Like there are so many issues in this post. Like the basic lack of understanding of corporate law is telling me you need to go to different counsel.

To start that’s completely false that a shareholder can’t be sued. The shareholder is not liable for the debts of the LLC. However, this does not exclude tortious conduct by both the shareholder and the LLC.

I can’t even do the rest of the analysis on the lack of understanding here.

You probably shouldn’t tell someone that a shareholder “never needs a lawyer” to sue on behalf of a corporation then.

As for whether the company is an LLC or a corp, OP admitted they are pretty unfamiliar with corporate law so it’s possible they’re just using imprecise language. Plenty of laypeople use the term shareholder when they technically mean member.

Hello everyone,

I resigned Today from my current employer for a different offer.

I discussed with my lead , he said if you really want to leave then prepare a good reason and leave on good terms, management will try to give lucrative offers so that you stay.


What are some safe resignation reasons to give so that
they cannot counter it and it looks genuine and safe as well.
I do not want to say that I am leaving because I am getting another offer.

Kindly guide 🙏

Hi,
I'm looking for an HR role in India. I'm an MBA -HR graduate and currently working as a PMO analyst.

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
