Learn tips that will be appropriate for any kind of Limited Liability Company or limited partnership business that you or your clients may find themselves in.
Most business people start new multi-owner real estate businesses from LLCs to conduct them. The operating agreements of these LLCs are often complex and demand substantial skill on the part of lawyers drafting them. Unfortunately, many of these operating agreements fail to adequately address fiduciary issues, dispute resolution issues and other critically important business organization law issues, and most of them fail to address major new federal partnership issues under section 199A and the BBA partnership audit rules. This topic will teach you how to address these issues.
