Oregon Statutes - Chapter 671 - Architect; Landscape Professions and Business - Section 671.045 - Liability of professional corporation.

ORS 671.041 to 671.047 do not affect the law applicable to the professional relationship and liabilities between a person rendering professional service and a person receiving the service, and ORS 671.041 to 671.047 do not affect the standards of professional conduct of a profession. A shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of a professional corporation may be held personally liable for negligent or wrongful acts or misconduct committed by that person, or by a person under the direct supervision and control of that person, while rendering professional service on behalf of the corporation to a person receiving the service the same as though the service was being rendered by an individual. A shareholder, director or officer may also be held liable for negligent or wrongful acts or misconduct in participation with such acts or misconduct of another shareholder, director or officer of the corporation. The corporation is jointly and severally liable up to the full value of its assets for such acts or misconduct. However, the shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation are not personally liable for the debts or other contractual obligations of the corporation.
