[Daria’s Bakery] Daria decided to open her own bakery. She decided she did not need a lawyer to advise her on different forms of ownership. Unfortunately, Daria had not paid attention in business law class. She proceeded to simply open her business called Daria’s Bakery. Eli told Daria that he wanted to order some cookies for his girlfriend, Kirsten, but that Kirsten had allergies to peanuts. Daria told him not to worry because she would make up a special batch just for him. Daria had hired some assistants because she was so busy. She told an assistant, Kate, to make up several batches of cookies for different customers including Eli and told her to leave out the peanuts in Eli’s batch because of the allergy. Kate, however, forgot about the peanut allergy and proceeded to make Eli’s cookies with peanuts. Eli picked up the cookies and gave one to Kirsten in the car. Kirsten became violently ill, vomited in Eli’s car, and had to have her stomach pumped. Eli and Kirsten sought recovery from Daria who told them that Kirsten’s doctor bill and Eli’s car cleaning bill were business debts, that the business was new and not making any money at the moment, and that she had no personal liability. Following the incident involving Eli and Kirsten, Daria discussed her problems with the bakery with her parents. Daria’s parents would like to invest in her business and share in any profits, but they do not want to share in the management responsibilities. Which of the following would be an appropriate form of business organization for Daria and her parents, such that her parents could invest but not participate in management?

[Heart surgery invention] Winston and Noe patented a mechanism that will change open heart surgery forever. They are setting up a business to produce and sell their invention to hospitals and will take advantage of Noe’s non-U.S. citizenship to help with sales in international markets. They hire Lenita, a corporate lawyer, to assist in setting up their business. Winston’s largest concern is taxes. Noe, on the other hand, doesn’t want to bother keeping corporate minutes and having board meetings as he is too busy. Both are concerned about being sued personally for products liability. Winston wants to have an office in California and one in Atlanta. Lenita tells Winston that, if they form an LLC, they only need to file paperwork in one of those states. Is she correct?
