                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

HOW LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MAY RENDER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES; NONPROFESSIONAL
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; MEMBERS AND MANAGERS NEED NOT BE EMPLOYEES, ETC (§
13.1-1107)

No limited liability company organized under this chapter may render
professional services except through its members, managers, employees,
independent contractors, and agents who are duly licensed or otherwise legally
authorized to render those professional services, and only members, managers,
employees, independent contractors, and agents licensed or otherwise legally
qualified by this Commonwealth may perform the professional service in Virginia.
However, this provision shall not be interpreted to preclude clerks,
secretaries, bookkeepers, technicians and other assistants who are not usually
and ordinarily considered by custom and practice to be rendering professional
service to the public for which a license or other legal authorization is
required from acting as employees, managers and agents of a professional limited
liability company and performing their usual duties or from acting as employees,
independent contractors, managers or agents of a professional limited liability
company. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be interpreted to require that
the right of an individual to be a member or manager of a limited liability
company organized under this chapter, or to organize that limited liability
company, is dependent upon the present or future existence of an employment
relationship between that individual and that limited liability company, or that
individual&#8217;s present or future active participation in any capacity in the
production of the income of that limited liability company or in the performance
of the services rendered by that limited liability company.
