A '''"Corporate Shield"''' is the byproduct of forming a [[corporation]].  The main reason that people form corporations is to shield themselves and their personal assets from individual liability for corporate acts. Courts allow this benefit only if the corporation is properly run,  adequately capitalized, and completely separate as a legal entity. If a [[court]] finds that the corporate privilege has been abused, the court may disregard the corporate protection, leaving the corporation’s [[shareholders]] (even if only one or two people are shareholders) open to [[liability]] for the corporation’s acts relating to that abuse.  <ref>California Dept. of Corporations [[http://www.corp.ca.gov/]]</ref>
