| | Limited Liability Companies -- The Basics |
 | | The new "limited liability companies" have, in effect, done away with the need to have unlimited liability for ANY of the owners of what is, in essence, a partnership form of business organization. |
 | | For professionals, the LLP offers only somewhat limited protection from liability, in that a professional who is a partner in an LLP remains personally liable for his or her own malpractice or gross negligence, or such misdeeds committed by employees of the LLP who operate under that partner's direction. |
 | | Like a regular corporation (a C corporation), an LLC provides limited liability to its owners, but taxable income or losses of the business will generally pass through to the owners (but any such losses may not always necessarily be deductible, due to the "at-risk" and "passive loss" limitations of the tax law). |
