Book Description

Publication Date: June 16, 2009 | ISBN-10: 1422429601 | ISBN-13: 978-1422429600 | Edition: Fourth Edition

The rapid proliferation of unincorporated business forms has moved beyond the scope of traditional Corporations and Agency/Partnership courses and textbooks, which leaves students without the necessary knowledge to competently advise business clients. Unincorporated Business Entities was designed to fill that widening gap in the existing curriculum. Unincorporated Business Entities is designed for a three-semester-hour course and has the following features:

Like its predecessors, the new edition of Unincorporated Business Entities takes a business planning approach to teaching the modern law of partnerships and other unincorporated firms.

The material on LLCs has largely been rewritten, reflecting the rapid development in this form over the last several years.

Each chapter contains new and updated notes and problems that provide a "hands-on" approach to the consequences of, and planning and drafting for, issues in agency, partnership, limited partnerships, LLCs, and limited liability partnerships.

The materials on partners' financial rights now include a short primer on financial accounting.

This review is from: Unincorporated business entities (Paperback)

There is a 3d edition out which is the most recent. If that's the one your professor is recommending be sure to avoid the ads that don't specify which edition of the book they are selling. You'll end up having to buy a second book at full price at your school's bookstore at the last minute.
