Overview of Partnership Issues

This post, written by the Deal Professor, Steven M. Davidoff, at the New York Times Deal Book Blog, provides a nice overview of some of the issues implicated by different types of business entities. Don't be overwhelmed by this -- there are a number of complicated concepts here. Absorb what you can, and if you are confused or lost, know that by the end of the semester, this will make a lot more sense.
