Limited Liability and Halacha

Question

According to Halacha, may a Jew sue another Jew through a beit din for the actions of a corporation the other Jew is invested in if that corporation is a limited liability structure under secular law? The reason I ask is because on the one hand it could be considered like they are exempt from personal liability due to Dina D’malchuta Dina but on the other hand since third parties didn’t consent to the limited liability contract it arguably doesn’t apply. In this case all/most shareholders are also Jews but nobody has a majority vote

  1. I am not conversant with the structure of limited liabilities and corporations within Halacha. I suggest that you ask a local Dayan your quesiton.
