EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780735582682


Drafting Delaware LLC Agreements: Forms and Practice Manual provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act from an entity formation viewpoint and sets forth extensive practical guidelines for lawyers planning, negotiating and drafting Delaware LLC agreements. Among other features: The book exhaustively identifies the definitional, mandatory, default and permissive provisions critical in forming Delaware LLCs, and it addresses in detail the more important of these provisions. It contains detailed criteria and practical examples for use in choosing among Delaware LLCs and other types of Delaware entities, including limited partnerships and corporations, in business entity formations (“non-tax choice of entity”). To the authors’ knowledge, it provides the most complete analysis of the series LLC provisions of the Delaware Act currently available in LLC literature. It provides in digital form model LLC agreements that address all of the various ownership structures, management structures and tax structures that Delaware LLC formation clients may need—a total of nine agreements for single-member LLCs and 33 for multi-member LLCs. Finally, the book contains plain-English explanations for lawyers who are not tax specialists concerning all principal federal and state tax issues likely to be important to Delaware entity formation clients. A CD containing customizable agreements, for ease of use, along with the full text of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act is included with your purchase!
