Professional Limited Liability Company (Formation) (CA)
California law does not provide for professional LLCs. Rather, a professional business can form as a professional corporation or two or more professionals may form as a limited liability partnership (LLP).
California law does provide full shield protection for an LLP.
A California LLP can be formed only by lawyers, accountants and architects.
