A Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC) is a business structure designed specifically for licensed professionals in New York. It provides personal liability protection while allowing professionals to practice their licensed services. PLLCs are restricted to licensed professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountants, architects, and engineers.

Who can form a PLLC in New York?

PLLCs are limited to licensed professionals including physicians (MD/DO), dentists (DDS/DMD), attorneys/lawyers, certified public accountants (CPAs), architects, engineers, veterinarians, and other licensed professionals as defined by NY law.

What is the publishing requirement for NY PLLCs?

New York law requires all PLLCs to publish their formation notice in two newspapers (one daily and one weekly) for six consecutive weeks. This publication must run in newspapers designated by the county where the PLLC's office is located. After publication, an affidavit of publication must be filed with the New York Department of State.

Why is publishing required?

The publishing requirement provides public notice of new professional practices and helps maintain transparency in professional services. It's a legal requirement that helps protect consumers by making PLLC formations publicly known.
