Legal Question in Business Law in New York
If a corporation is incorporated in Delaware, has its main office in New York, and does business in California, but its president lives in Connecticut, in which state(s) can it be sued?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Delaware New York and California. It may be sued in Connecticut if it does substantial business in Connecticut.
You can be sued in any state including where the plaintiff is located. If it turns out that there is no jurisdiction in the court where the action is filed it may be dismissed or perhaps removed to another court but this is an action the defendant needs to take.
I'm not sure what's motivating this question, but you may want to discuss with a lawyer in private. If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
