Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: levantar el velo societario
Se trata de un considerando en una opinión sobre un Laudo arbitral, escrito por un abogado argentino:
-------------------------------------------
"El Laudo examina después una posible aplicación de las teorías del grupo de compañiás y del levantamiento del velo societario.

Indica que “en la ausencia de una indicación de que la teoría del grupo de sociedades, como lo enuncia XXXX en las fuentes en las cuales se fundamenta, ha sido aceptada por el derecho argentino, el Tribunal asume que no existe una declaración al respecto”

¿Podría ser "lifting the business organization veil"?

Desde ya, muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda.
