Use of the LLC Holding Company Structure by Life Sciences Companies

Publication

View a description of the LLC holding company structure and its pros and cons. For further questions, reach out to either Bill Caporizzo or Meghan Walsh in WilmerHale’s Tax Practice or Stuart Falber in WilmerHale’s Life Sciences Group.
