Used that way, PA stands for Professional Association. A PA is a corporation formed by professionals such as lawyers, dentists, and medical doctors. In the past, the so-called "learned professions" were not allowed to operate as corporations. But most states have now enacted a professional corporation or association actthat allows professionals to practice under corporate rules provided that all shareholders are members of the profession. A PA is attractive to professionals because it provides some of the tax advantages and liability protections of a business corporation.
