Elective Course
Enterprise Law
This course examines the strengths, weaknesses, methods of formation and practical aspects of entities such as sole proprietorships, general partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, not-for-profit entities, professional corporations, joint ventures and REITS. We will focus on the lawyer's role when counseling and representing these entities, including drafting the necessary documents and the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty for each enterprise. The California bar has announced that it will start to test these areas in the next couple of years, so it has importance in that regard as well. This class complements the Business Organizations course as well as the business planning seminar. This course will give you skills that will serve you well in the transactional areas of law practice.
