Very useful information and made a number of points about the relationships among LLC members that I had not heard in other LLC v Corporation discussions.

Stephen S.

This was done well enough but was very basic and should be labeled that way. Provided nothing new for seasoned practitioner.

SR

I regularly deal with corporate formation and the drafting of corporate business documents. While much of this was old hat to me, it was still informative and reminded me of aspects I don't often address but should keep in mind in my practice.
