Tennessee § 48-248-406 - Liability.

§ 48-248-406. Liability.

Each individual who renders professional services as a member, holder of financial interest, governor, manager, employee or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC is liable for such person's own negligent or wrongful acts or omissions to the same extent as if the person rendered the services as a sole practitioner. A member, holder of financial interest, governor, manager, employee or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC is not liable, however, for the conduct of other members, holders of financial interests, governors, managers, employees or agents of the PLLC unless such person is also at fault. A domestic or foreign PLLC whose members, governors, managers, employees or other agents perform professional services within the scope of their employment or of their apparent authority to act for the PLLC is liable to the same extent as such members, governors, managers, employees or other agents. Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, the personal liability of a member, holder of financial interests, governor, manager, employee or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC is no greater in any respect than the liability of a member, holder of financial interests, governor, manager, employee or other agent of an LLC organized under chapters 201-248 of this title.
