Legal Question in Business Law in New York

An LLC that I'm a partner in was being sued for money owed and now I am being sued personally for the money although it was loaned to the company. Is this legal ?

Under most circumstances a member of an LLC is not personally liable for the debts of the LLC. However, there are exceptions, and whether or not you're in one of those exceptional circumstances will not automatically halt the litigation.

In order to determine whether it will be possible to obtain a dismissal will depend upon the allegations in the complaint and the facts of your situation. If you'd like to discuss the matter, please feel free to get in touch.
