Limited Liability Companies: Basics of Ownership and Structuring

 A webinar Thursday, December 6, 2012, 11 A.M. – 12 P.M.  Eastern Daylight Time U.S.

Speakers:

  • William B. Bierce, Esq., Bierce & Kenerson, P.C.

Description:

As a form of legal entity, LLCs enjoy unique U.S. tax benefits that make them well-suited to service industries, including IT-enabled businesses, particularly “sweat-equity” type services and Internet-based businesses that do not require heavy initial investment.   They are disfavored by venture capital and private equity investors due to legal and tax considerations.  However, without private equity, LLCs can serve as platforms for rapid growth in business without substantial investment capital.  Thus, LLC’s offer comparative advantages for service-oriented and Web-based businesses, such as (for example):

    • global business services;
    • importers selling goods through a service-based sales operation;
    • foreign companies expanding into the U.S.; and
    • American marketing, service and customer-relationship teams seeking to joint venture with foreign service delivery providers for a global services business.

This webinar will address the fundamentals of structuring LLCs for use in special purpose environments.  It will consider specific operational and governance paradigms, operating agreement structure, and legal structures for collaboration in strategic relationships.
