10:00 a.m.

“Introduction to the New Florida Protected Series LLC Legislation,” will provide an overview of legislation signed into law on June 20, 2025, with an effective date of July 1, 2026. The law amends the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act to authorize Protected Series LLCs, allowing a single LLC to create separate series with distinct members, assets, and liabilities while maintaining liability protection between them. It also establishes rules governing both Florida and foreign series LLCs doing business in the state, an area previously unaddressed in Florida law. The program will provide timely guidance ahead of the law’s implementation and feature members of the Florida Bar Drafting Committee who worked directly on the legislation.
