Research Handbook on Partnerships, LLCs and Alternative Forms of Business Organizations - Robert W. Hillman;Mark J. Loewenstein

This Handbook explores partnerships, LLCs, business trusts and related topics. Specially commissioned chapters by leading scholars in the field examine issues such as fiduciary duties, agency principles, contractual freedom, tax treatment, the special circumstances of law firms, and dissolution. While much of the emphasis is on US law, a number of chapters also include treatments of Japan, the UK, Russia, China, Taiwan, India and Brazil.

This Handbook’s expert analysis makes it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners of business law, as well as law students.
