[wplug] Need to protect my websites with a corporation

[Doug Green]

Staying out of the fray, here's a Direct Response to the OP

This is NOT legal advice and I'm NOT a lawyer:

I have started two corps, one LLC and one S-corp. My understanding of corporate law given your circumstances is that you will NOT be able to "shield yourself" from any pending litigation. You mentioned that they were contractors, so presumably you had a contract with them to perform some kind of activity. If you so much as Signed this document without your corporate title (relation to corporation), it is a personal contract and outside the boundaries of any corporate entity. Same goes with Payment. Did you pay them with a corporate account?? (Rhetorical question, No need to answer this)

All of this falls under the category of Piercing the Corporate Veil, which is what you'll want to Google. Basically they can establish that you Are Not a separate entity from the corporation and are therefore Personally responsible for all corporate actions. 

Your best, least expensive bet is probably to discuss your differences with them and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. In short, go Hug It Out.
