service and the person receiving the professional service, and to the standards for professional conduct, including the confidential
relationship between the person rendering the professional service and the person receiving such professional service, if any; and all
confidential relationships previously enjoyed under the laws of this State or hereafter enacted shall remain inviolate. Any officer,
employee, agent or shareholder of a professional corporation shall remain personally and fully liable and accountable for any negligent,
wrongful acts, or misconduct committed by such person, or by any person under such person's direct supervision and control, while
rendering professional services on behalf of the professional corporation to the person for whom such professional services were being

committed by any of its officers, employees, agents or shareholders while they are engaged in behalf of the professional corporation in the
rendering of professional services. The assets of a professional corporation shall not be liable to attachment for the individual debts of its
shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relationship of an individual to a professional corporation with which such individual is or
may be associated, whether as officer, employee, agent, or shareholder director, shall in no way modify, extend, or diminish the jurisdiction
over such individual, of and by whatever state agency, or office which licensed or otherwise legally authorized such person for or to render
service in a particular field of endeavor.
