4 PREFACE We understand that many of you are taking this course because your law school requires it or because the last bar exam had both a corporation question and a partnership question or because the class meets at 11 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Regardless of the reason, we are glad that you are taking the course. All law students and lawyers need to understand business structures. For law students, business structures are building blocks in other courses. For lawyers, business structures are building blocks in the lives of their clients, in the lives of their communities. And, like law students, lawyers, clients and communities, business structures have "lives." This book covers the life cycle of a business, Bubba's Burritos, from birth to death. We will see how Bubba's Burritos' life and legal issues change as the business changes from a sole proprietorship to a partnership, to a corporation, to a limited partnership, to a limited liability company. We will also consider how the life and legal issues of Bubba's Burritos differ from those of a larger, more mature business such as McDonald's. We will look not only at businesses but also at their owners. Generally, people buy a business or an interest in a business to make money. We will consider how the structure of a business affects the ability of its owners to make money from business operations or from the sale of ownership interests. February, 2015 DAVID G. EPSTEIN RICHARD D. FREER MICHAEL J. ROBERTS GEORGE B. SHEPHERD v
