- We are often asked whether LDNs/LNs should form a PLLC or an LLC. This law does NOT include dietitians/nutritionists as a “Professional Service” thus, licensees should form an LLC NOT a PLLC. This should not be considered legal advice; rather, please bring this information to your own attorney for review.
