Description
As LLCs have become the default choice of entity for most businesses, sales and exchanges of LLC membership interests are commonplace.
Despite the frequency of sales and exchanges, exactly what rights of the seller the buyer succeeds to is often mistaken and these mistakes can lead to dispute and litigation. By default, transferees succeed only to the economic interests of the transferor. They do not succeed to the transferor's governance rights.
If governance rights are part of the underlying bargain, the consent of the LLC's other members generally must be sought.
This program provides a practical guide to drafting and planning for the sale and exchange of LLC interests.
