Business Laws in Louisiana.

Louisiana’s modern business-corporation statute governs shareholder rights, director duties, derivative claims, mergers, and dissolution.

Louisiana’s LLC statute governs member rights, fiduciary duties, operating agreements, dissociation, and dissolution.

Louisiana’s UCC covers sales, secured transactions, negotiable instruments, and other commercial relationships, adapted for civil-law concepts.

Louisiana contract law is grounded in the Civil Code’s law of obligations, not common-law contract doctrine — a fundamental difference in how Louisiana business disputes are analyzed.
