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.
