Current Issues in LLCs

Date of Event

2-11-2022

Description

Jayne Juvan, Glenn Morrical and Dan Schiau of Tucker Ellis LLP will discuss current issues in LLCs impacting business leaders and advisors alike and will review features of the new Limited Liability Company Act that will take effect in Ohio on Feb. 11, 2022. The new act’s expanded flexibility and deference to freedom of contract principles reflect the trend in state LLC laws as of today, and will serve to highlight the different approaches between jurisdictions. Topics to be discussed include management structures, fiduciary and other duties, restrictions on transfer of LLC interests, rights of creditors, series LLCs, dissolution, and more. The speakers will also discuss practical considerations to consider when setting up or operating an LLC.
