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.
