Suing a Business Partner in South Carolina: Why the Wrong Lawsuit Gets Dismissed 

Uncategorized, Business, Greenville, Law /

Short answer: When a business partner takes money, misuses company assets, or breaches their duties, the injury usually belongs to the company, not to you personally. In South Carolina, that means you generally cannot sue in your own name. You have to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, and you have to follow strict pleading rules. Get […]

Uncategorized, Business, Campbell Teague, Law /

In a lot of corporate conversations, legal gets framed as a structure. People talk about the General Counsel versus the rest of the in-house team like that explains everything. It really does not.

In the last four pieces of this series, we explored why decentralization can’t be measured solely by legal structure, ownership, governance, or even code. We unpacked why foundations don’t automatically create decentralization, why ownership and control aren’t the same thing, why governance doesn’t always translate into authority, and why even the most decentralized code still depends on people to operate it.   This time, we turn to a

When Decentralization Becomes a Performance  In the first two pieces of this series, we unpacked why decentralization isn’t something you can achieve through legal structure alone, and why control, not just ownership, determines how decentralized a system really is. This time, let’s talk about governance.  If you spend enough time around DAOs, you’ll notice something quickly: everyone loves a vote. Governance proposals. Snapshot polls.

Private Interest Foundations were originally designed for estate and asset planning, but in recent years, they

In a prior post we unpacked the idea that offshore foundations make systems decentralized. In this piece, we take the next step and look beyond structure to the quieter question of control. In Web3, ownership gets most of the attention. Think, Token distributions, vesting schedules, and supply caps , which are debated endlessly and often framed as the primary indicators of decentralization. But from a
