Leonard, an accountant, was negligent in filing the taxes of Big Corporation. In settlement of Big Corporation's claim against him, Leonard signed a promissory note for $10,400 on behalf of his accounting firm, an LLP. When the law firm did not pay, Anthony filed suit against Leonard personally for payment of the note. Is a member personally liable for the debt of an LLP that was caused by his own negligence?

Would you answer change if the facts were slightly different:

• What if Leonard acted recklessly while working for the Limited Liability Company?
• What if Leonard was negligent while working for a corporation or Limited Partnership?
