Research Handbook on Partnerships, LLCs and Alternative Forms of Business Organizations (Research Handbooks in Corporate Law and Governance) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

While the partnership has been a viable alternative to incorporation for centuries, the much more recent limited liability company (LLC) has increasingly become the business organization of choice for new firms in the United States. This Handbook includes extensive discussion of alternatives to incorporation, including several chapters devoted to alternative entities in foreign jurisdictions. Distinguished contributors include academics, practitioners, and prominent jurists.

This Handbook explores partnerships, LLCs, business trusts and related topics. Specially commissioned chapters by leading scholars in the field examine issues such as fiduciary duties, agency principles, contractual freedom, tax treatment, the special circumstances of law firms, and dissolution. While much of the emphasis is on US law, a number of chapters also include treatments of Japan, the UK, Russia, China, Taiwan, India and Brazil.

This Handbook’s expert analysis makes it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners of business law, as well as law students.
