In Connecticut the personal liability of the corporate officer/director or LLC member for torts renders them subject to the court's jurisdiction. The signatory of the contract creates privity between the corporation/LLC and the Plaintiff for the contract claim.

A popular defense that I have been running into is an argument under the law of agency in which the Corporation/LLC disavows the authority of the signatory to bind the corporation/LLC to contract. Consequently I normally sue both the corporation/LLC and the signatory on alternate theories of contract breach. If the corporation/LLC had knowledge of the contract and accepted services with knowledge of the contract the corporation/LLC has ratified the signature and is liable.

If the services are renderred in a slovenly manner resulting in damages there is the alternate claim of negligence if the tort feasor is a corporate officer/director or LLC member.If the tort feasor is not a corporate officer/director or LLC member then he/she has rendered the corporation/LLC liable under the doctrine of Respondeat Superior.
