Limited liability company – LLC: some major differences between Brazil and the US legislation

Leonardo Parentoni

Abstract

This article draws a parallel between limited liability company – LLC in Brazil and the US –, from a regulatory perspective, based just on a study of compared legislation: the Civil Code, in Brazil, and the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act – RULLCA, in the US. The scope is to highlight some major differences between these legal systems when dealing with the same issue. In the end, I expect that this study helps to identify pros and cons of the uniform regulatory framework of LLCs in both countries, which could be useful when reevaluating or amending their laws.
