Five Recent Decisions Featured in CSC’s 2025 Annotated Edition

Five full-text cases covering recent legal developments—ranging from LLC ownership and foreign corporations to taxation of pass-through entities, successor liability, and the formation of unintentional partnerships—are now included in the 2025 edition of Virginia Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated, published by CSC.

These new cases, along with more than a dozen additional case notes added since the 2024 edition, offer essential insights into how Virginia courts are interpreting the state’s business entity laws. For quick reference, the Table of New Annotations lists all new case notes, which are also flagged with gray bars throughout the text.

It also features selected titles from the Uniform Commercial Code and relevant taxation sections, all updated with the latest legislative changes from the 2025 Virginia General Assembly session.
