So it’s not a company!
So your clients don’t want a company structure, now what? In this set of course materials we explore how to create and work with a variety of alternative structures. Since most legal support staff don’t work with general partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, or societies often, this must-have publication will provide you with the knowledge and ability to act quickly and confidently when these non-corporate structures arise.
