This course focuses on the laws that govern the most commonly encountered firms or entities in the U.S. that individuals organize themselves in order to conduct the range of entrepreneurial activities commonly referred to as business. The specific business entities we’ll cover include sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations (especially the corporate form because of its dominance). We’ll also consider some of the evolving newcomers to the field – such as benefit corporations (“B-Corps”) and low-profit limited liability companies (“L3Cs”).
