Abstract: This study proposes, within the scope of Business Law, to verify whether, based on Brazilian legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence, the corporate undercapitalization of business companies constitutes a possibility or not for the application of the institute of disregard of legal personality. Based on this assumption, dialectical scientific research methods were used, since the great controversy of the matter remains clear, and deductive, embodied in the analysis of major premises to arrive at specific propositions relating to the subjects discussed here. This work proposes to present a brief history of the patrimonial autonomy of legal entities, present the disregard of legal personality as an institute developed to avoid abuses, define the concepts of social capital and subcapitalization to, based on these definitions, verify the favorable positions and contrary to the application of the Disregard Doctrine in cases of undercapitalized companies. Finally, it is supported by the understanding that, due to Brazilian law not requiring minimum share capital for the constitution of companies and the exceptional application of the institute of disregard in the Brazilian legal system, corporate undercapitalization should not give rise to the “raising of the veil”, embodied in the autonomous personality and assets of legal entities.
