CHAPTER 7-16

The Rhode Island Limited Liability Company Act

SECTION 7-16-3.2



   § 7-16-3.2  Liability in rendering

professional services. –

(a) The liability of an individual authorized to practice a profession for his

or her own negligence, wrongful acts or misconduct, or that of any person under

his or her direct supervision and control, other than in an administrative

capacity, shall not be affected by the individual's providing professional

services in this state as a member or agent of a domestic or foreign limited

liability company.



   (b) An individual authorized to practice a profession and who

is a member of a domestic or foreign limited liability company rendering

professional services in this state is not liable solely by reason of being a

member for any negligence, wrongful acts or misconduct of another member or

agent of the limited liability company. A domestic or foreign limited liability

company rendering professional services in the state is liable for the

negligence, wrongful acts or misconduct of its members and agents providing

professional services through the limited liability company within the scope of

their authority or apparent authority to act for the limited liability company.



   (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, the

personal liability of a member in a limited liability company engaged in the

rendering of professional services shall not be less than or greater than the

personal liability of a shareholder of a professional corporation organized

under chapter 5.1 of this title engaged in the rendering of the same

professional services.
