Michigan Defense Trial Counsel

One court case from 19th century England reshaped the entire landscape of corporate law: 📜 The Case: Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd established that a company is a separate legal entity from its shareholders. 🔍 The 'Small' Decision: The House of Lords ruled that Mr. Salomon was not personally liable for his company's debts. 🌊 The Ripple Effects: - Limited liability became a fundamental principle of corporate law - Encouraged entrepreneurship and risk-taking - Led to the rise of the modern corporation - Influenced corporate tax structures - Shaped corporate governance practices globally This case demonstrates how a single legal decision can transform the business world. At Dawda Mann, we understand that every legal detail matters, as today's small decision could be tomorrow's game-changing precedent. #ButterflyEffect #CorporateLaw #LegalPrecedent #BusinessLaw #DawdaMann

The 10th (and last) in this series!!

Collins Einhorn attorney, Reine Hamdar, recently moderated a panel discussion hosted by the MENA American Chamber of Commerce. The panel featured Sgt. Torey Johns, MI State Police, Cyber Crimes Unit; SA Ryan Ormond, FBI; and Dave Trader, CISO of Presidio. The discussion was an in-depth look at the increasing threat of cyber-attacks on small businesses and how business owners should protect themselves. Given the high stakes, it is imperative for all businesses to invest in proper cybersecurity solutions, conduct regular security audits, and stay compliant with evolving data protection regulations. Establishing a proactive defense system can mean the difference between long-term survival and catastrophic failure in the face of growing cyber threats. Reine Hamdar is a member of the firm's Professional Liability and AI Ethics & Compliance Practice Groups. Her practice focuses on the defense and representation of professionals in the legal, insurance, accounting, architectural, engineering, and real estate fields.
