This program will
explore the evolution of exotic hybrid business entity structures starting as
legal innovations and those maturing into recognized business association
forms. Hybrid entities are created to achieve a variety of outcomes from tax
advantages, IPOs, to business planning objectives. For example, variants on LLC
and limited partnership forms can be used to maximize asset protection,
leverage tax advantages, access capital markets, and achieve other business
objectives. The program will introduce attendees to several “exotic” hybrid
structures and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with each. The
program will be informative, inviting subject matter experts to educate
audience members, and exploratory, critically examining the tax, governance,
private ordering, securities, and policy implications of new entity structuring
tools. The program will also explore attempts to standardize exotic hybrids
through uniform rules.
Business meeting held on Wednesday,
January 3 at 5:30pm.
