Pick the business format for success
No business decision is more fundamental than selecting the form in which your clients will do business. The choices are several, the risks considerable, and the advantages numerous – meaning that you must understand all the options.

Business Organizations makes that possible, discussing all available Wisconsin business organization formats, from corporations to limited liability partnerships, from traditional corporations to limited liability companies, from franchises to nonprofits, all in one handy, indexed, and solidly researched book.

Content you can use
In Business Organizations, you’ll review definitions of the various corporate entity choices, as well as the benefits – and drawbacks – of each. The issues are put into clear focus, including the all-important ways that Wisconsin taxes businesses – or doesn’t tax them – a topic not covered in any other State Bar of Wisconsin CLE book. This book will help you to:

• Study the actors involved in the formation and governance of corporations in Wisconsin (specifically the shareholders, directors, and officers).
• Review the legal status of limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships, including their interaction with various regulatory agencies, both state and federal.
• Analyze the complex legal issues that arise in nonprofit organizations, such as entitlement to exemption from tax, operation, dissolution, and more.
• Go in-depth with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law that regulates the relations between grantors and dealers.
• Follow the path of a typical limited liability company (LLC), from the process of formation and organization, through operation, mid-life change, and dissolution.

Get Business Organizations and find the answers you’re looking for – fast – and put them to immediate use.

Organized to save you time
You’ll find that Business Organizations is packed with relevant case law, time-saving practice tips, checklists, cautions, caveats, sample language, and practice guides. Citation is easy with a table of cases, a table of statutes, regulations, and rules, plus a complete index. You’ll also appreciate the standard system of internal section numbering for easy cross-reference.

Add to your business law library
For more help with business law topics, take a look at the other nine titles in the Wisconsin Business Advisor Series.  The unique WBA series provides a comprehensive overview of issues that often arise in the course of advising business clients. That’s because in developing the series, members of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin and the editors at State Bar CLE Books identified areas of particular importance to business clients and their advisors. So the series is written by business lawyers, for business lawyers.

Refer to the following list of titles for any you want to add to your library. Note that online and CD versions are also available.

As an added bonus! . . .
You also receive a tabbed comprehensive index and a supplements binder. The index covers all 10 of the WBA volumes, so you can find out what’s covered, and look up the information you need quickly.
