Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Tanya A. Gee , Manton M. Grier, Jr. , and Val H. Stieglitz, III , all of Nexsen Pruet, LLC, of Columbia, for Appellant/Respondent.

William E. Hopkins, Jr. , of Hopkins Law Firms, LLC, of Pawleys Island, for Respondent/Appellant.

Justice HEARN.

At its simplest, this appeal concerns whether a limited liability company (LLC) may be held liable for the actions of a promoter and whether any evidence to support such liability was presented here. We reverse and hold the circuit court erred in denying the directed verdict on the issue of liability because there was no evidence on which a jury could hold the defendant Beechwood Development Group of South Carolina, LLC (Appellant) liable.
