With more than 950,000 small businesses making up 99.6% of all companies in New Jersey, limited liability companies (LLC’s) are the go-to entity for entrepreneurs across the state. Offering the trio of limited liability protection, flexible management structures, and pass-through taxation, LLC’s are uniquely suited to meet the needs of modern business owners – without the restrictions often applied to other types of businesses.
This comprehensive seminar is essential for any New Jersey attorney working with business clients. Our panel of experienced practitioners will explore the lifecycle of an LLC—from formation and drafting airtight operating agreements to navigating tax considerations, allocations, distributions and so much more. Attorneys will also gain critical insight into the pros and cons of forming an LLC in Delaware as compared to forming one in New Jersey as well as the potential impact new legislation such as the “Big Beautiful Bill” will have on LLC owners.
