Overview

This year, the Choice of Entity Fundamentals is a perfect refresher for seasoned practitioners and a great introduction for those new to the area of unincorporated entities. Choice of Entity is not merely a tax driven exercise because so many non-tax factors are equally important. Join our group of seasoned practitioners discussing the important considerations and current trends impacting the client’s choice among partnerships, LLCs, S Corps, and more recently C Corporations. Find out what’s driving the choice between LLCs and C corps as the “go to” vehicles of choice for start ups and businesses that are restructuring.
