  • Read the latest article posted in the “Cracking the Code Interactive Newsletter,” by Mark Berman titled "LLC Member Interests and Bankruptcy: Courts Begin to Sort Things Out." The LLC, taking some of its attributes from partnerships and other attributes from corporations, has become an entity of choice in business ventures. As a relatively new entity, however, there are few bankruptcy court decisions dealing with how member interests in an LLC will be treated when a member becomes the subject of a bankruptcy case. A few recent bankruptcy court decisions allow us a peek at where things appear to be headed.
