This CLE course will provide corporate counsel with a review of the advantages and disadvantages of forming LLCs under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (DE LLC Act) versus other statutes. The panel will explain the key issues for counsel in planning, negotiating and drafting LLC agreements under the DE LLC Act.

Description

The Delaware LLC Act is the preeminent LLC Act in this country and arguably the most flexible. The body of Delaware LLC case law is extensive and evolving, and the Delaware courts lead the country in deciding business disputes. For these and other reasons, the DE LLC Act is the statute of choice when forming LLCs.

However, forming an LLC under the Act is not for the unprepared. It is a lengthy and complex LLC statute, presenting many pitfalls for attorneys forming Delaware LLCs. Becoming familiar with the terms of the Act and the critical LLC issues not addressed by its terms is key.

Listen as our authoritative panel of Delaware attorneys discusses the advantages of Delaware LLC formation and best practices for drafting LLC agreements under the DE LLC Act.
