How can they sue him directly? I thought that the company is kind of a 'shield' when it comes to personal sues

Not exactly. First, the corporate shield is not absolute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil

Second, for this issue, I don't think it even applies - their complaint isn't about WeWork, but specifically about Adam.
