What I don’t get about the incorporate in state X schemes, maybe someone can enlighten me, is that you still need to file a foreign corporation to operate in whatever state you’re in. So what exactly are you evading by filing in a different state?
If it is in regards to shareholders, then I believe the state in which you're incorporated would have jurisdiction.
If it's another type of case, for example one brought by an employee, it might be based on the employment laws of the state they are employed in, so the trial would happen in the state of their employment.
