Research Handbook on Partnerships, LLCs and Alternative Forms of Business Organizations (Hardcover)

Professors Hillman and Loewenstein have assembled in one volume insightful contributions on a range of important legal topics within the law of non-corporate forms of doing business. Contributors to the work are the Who s Who within the fields of partnership, LLC and alternative business forms who collectively provide multi-disciplinary perspectives on a wide range of topics such as the limits of private ordering, the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing as a governor on overreaching, tensions alternative business forms place on traditional agency law, the growing use of LLCs for cross border tax planning, and trends in disassociation and dissolution. There are also seven chapters devoted to important developments for non-corporate organizations in the UK, Japan, China, Russia, India, Taiwan and Brazil. This book should be on every business organization practitioner or academic's bookshelf.' - James D. Cox, Duke University, USWhile 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. Contributors: A. Afsharipour, R. Axberg, E. Berry, B.T.
