A shareholder, director, member, officer, employee or agent of an architectural firm may be held personally liable for negligent or wrongful acts or misconduct committed by the shareholder, director, member, officer, employee or agent, or by a person under the direct supervision and control of the shareholder, director, member, officer, employee or agent, while rendering professional service on behalf of the architectural firm to a person receiving the service the same as though the service were being rendered by an individual.

The architectural firm is jointly and severally liable up to the full value of the architectural firms assets for the architectural firms acts or misconduct, but the shareholders, directors, members, officers, employees and agents of the architectural firm are not personally liable for the debts or other contractual obligations of the architectural firm.
